What Happens

A group of people gather for dinner. As the waiter serve the food, we see that this is the gourmet version of everything, even some really strange animals. The various people seated around the table get more and more excited, eating faster and faster. 

Where will this gluttony end? To what depths will they go for their appetites?

Commentary

Other than the waiter, no one speaks in this. You just have to watch to see where it leads, just like the waiter. 

This was an early film by now-superstar Denis Villeneuve, and it was clear even then that he was very talented. It’s well shot, well paced, looks great, and it’s weird enough you’re always left wondering.
