Synopsis
Club Zero (2023) is a chilly satirical thriller from Jessica Hausner, and you can watch it online on iFILM. At an expensive private school, a new teacher named Miss Novak arrives to lead a class on conscious eating.
It all sounds responsible at first — eat less, waste less, care for the planet, listen to your body. But Miss Novak, played with eerie calm by Mia Wasikowska, walks five teenagers toward a darker conclusion: that food might be optional altogether. A tight circle forms around her, the Club Zero of the title, and the parents and staff grasp what's happening far too late. Hausner films the slide into the unthinkable with unnerving poise: sterile rooms, symmetrical frames, flat voices, dread leaking through a spotless surface.
The film screened in competition at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. It isn't really about diet — it's about how a reasonable-sounding idea hardens into a cult, and how adults stop hearing their own kids. Best for viewers who like mood-driven art horror over jump scares. Stream Club Zero online on iFILM.
