Composed of three thematically interconnected short films--breakfast, lunch, and dinner--
Jan Svankmajer's "Food" establishes a blending of peace and horror. Deconstructing the rituals of eating, three separate sections transform nourishment into something grotesque, as diverse people seem willing to gobble up everything in sight. With this in mind, humans turn into dumbwaiters, rich and poor devour everything they can until there's nothing left, and finally, intrepid gourmands dig into scrumptious, exotic meals.
