Worthing Film Club Presents...
Welcome to the Sonic Catering Institute, a creative retreat for artists whose work occupies a place somewhere between avant-garde music and outré cuisine. Run by the eccentric Jan Stevens, the three-week workshop is playing host to a three-piece outfit comprising the severe and unbending Elle di Elle, the troubled Lamina Propria and Jan’s soon-to-be lover Billy Rubin. Their journey at the institute is documented by photographer Stones, whose digestive troubles are as turbulent as the creations his subjects are producing. But relations between the bandmembers are deteriorating quicker than the concoctions they conjure up, their host’s psyche is unravelling and the in-house doctor’s obsession with classical texts is driving everyone to distraction.
★★★★★ The funniest of his films to date ScreenDaily
★★★★ A brilliant, bizarre, occasionally grotesque, horror-inflected cinematic delicacy Empire
★★★★ It is by turns scatological, hilarious, art-referential and, ultimately, moving. The Wrap
