I just saw Club Zero - still attempting to "digest" it. Brilliant but not ready-made for simplistic interpretations. It attacks some major issues way beyond eating disorders. For me Hausner explores our human need for connection - the need to find community in a confusing world through a shared belief system (no matter how irrational or potentially destructive). The family unit is dissolving. This is how ideology substitutes for what was once the realm of religion. Modern day group think and aligning oneself with a tribe (perhaps only a tribe that exists online) is one way to not feel alone and to see oneself as serving a higher purpose - to have acceptance and meaning in ones life. Of course, this lends itself to being manipulated - this was obviously true with Nazism and Communism, both of which were dressed up as servicing a high ideal. In the case of Ms Novak, she's been drinking her own Kool-Aid. I loved Wasikowska's portrayal of this extremely sincere but demented role model. Her accent was interesting - I think it might have been a subdued Dutch accent. She always becomes her character thoroughly - she's never just playing a version of herself. Club Zero has something to offend everyone, of any political persuasion, since its easy to project ones own bias onto the films surreal/psychological take on society.

Completely opposite to what I watch form long time. It was a great experience to watch a film more connected to our lives. No fake drama no song it was simple thought provoking film. Infact I tried to do this consious eating but it's really very hard at first, so I tried not to eat for straight 20 hours and I was successful in these,in that period of time I was not thinking about food,I was just concentrating on my different stuffs, all though It was a great experience. This film starts with a simple thought provoking questions and ends with a strong belief that all we need is Faith for everything we want, and we need to ask question about some facts that people are blindly following from many centuries. Go watch it once. I was also surprised that people are making cinema about these unknown topics.
