A provocative black comedy about the horrors of conscious dieting.

2023, Jessica Hausner

Austria–United Kingdom–France–Germany–United States
110 minutes, English with Russian subtitles

Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Mathieu Demy, Ksenia Devriendt

In a British public school, a young nutritional science teacher passionately preaches the virtues of mindful eating. Five pupils fall under Miss Novak’s spell—but soon the call to eat less is replaced by a demand not to eat at all.

She walks the satirical line successfully, eliciting laughs from the audience during scenes that really should be uncomfortable to watch.

Cannes Festival favourite Jessica Hausner delivers a searing satire on the modern obsession with dieting and physical appearance. Not only the characters, but the audience as well, fail to notice how the farce turns into a true horror.
