Crazy Trailer For FLUX GOURMET Introduces Us To a World of Culinary Madness

So, here’s an interesting and bonkers trailer for an upcoming film from IFC Midnight titled Flux Gourmet. It introduces us to a wild world of culinary insanity. I’ll be honest, I’m not quite sure what in the hell is going on in the trailer, and the synopsis might take multiple read throughs to figure out what is going on.

The movie was directed by Peter Strickland (In Fabric, Berberian Sound Studio) and it stars Asa Butterfield (Ender’s Game) and Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones). Here’s the synopsis:

A sonic collective who can’t decide on a name takes up a residency at an institute devoted to culinary and alimentary performance. The members Elle di Elle, Billy Rubin and Lamina Propria are caught up in their own power struggles, only their dysfunctional dynamic is furthermore exacerbated when they have to answer to the institute’s head, Jan Stevens. With the various rivalries unfolding, Stones, the Institute’s ‘dossierge’ has to privately endure increasingly fraught stomach problems whilst documenting the collective’s activities. Upon hearing of Stones’s visits to the gastroenterologist, Dr Glock, Elle coerces him into her performances in a desperate bid for authenticity. The reluctant Stones puts up with the collective’s plans to use his condition for their art whilst Jan Stevens goes to war with Elle over creative differences.
