Denis Villeneuve’s award-winning short sets the table for an aristocratic yet barbaric banquet featuring unparalleled service. Visually stunning and darkly humorous, the film approaches surrealism with minimal dialogue yet maximum impact. The result is a feast for the eyes and an assault on society. AR
