Flux Gourmet is premiering later this year for the audience to see, but we already
have some opinions about the film after the first screening of the movie happened
'Choose or Die': the new horror starring Asa Butterfield
on the Berlin Film Festival of 2022.
Peter Strickland is considered a genius by many, both as a writer and a director
and is known because of his weirdly uncanny yet realistic pieces of work,
like 'The Duke of Burgundy' or 'Berberian Sound Studio', most recently
for his critically acclaimed movie 'In Fabric', where the villain of the movie
is nonother than a dress, a piece of fabric. Beautifully shot, amazingly acted,
and just pure fun, campy horror, like the old times.
There's a selected audience that can enjoy this type of film if you understand
that horror doesn't always have to be all jump scares, but you can
build tension in different ways, while making it ironic and uncanny, in a way if you don't
know if you have to take it seriously or not.
And according to the critics that saw Flux gourmet at the Berlin Film Festival,
the movie encapsulates really well bot surrealism and realism,
as we follow an interviewer for an art company, that does performance
art with food, as he's struggling with IBS and falling in love with the type
of art they make. Funny, witty, and definitely bizarre and wild, like most things
Peter Strickland does.
When it comes out, go see it if you are a fan of this horror film that
tap into their campy side, with a different approach to the genre
instead of the common killer or haunted house.
