↳ La Grande Bouffe

A pause in our understanding, for our understanding: La Grande Bouffe, 2018.
Intermission Gallery, Melbourne.

La Grande Bouffe tells the story of four friends who gather in a villa for a weekend with the express purpose of eating themselves to death. The gathering includes Ugo a chef and restaurant owner, Philippe a venerable magistrate, Marcello a commercial airline pilot, and Michel a successful television producer. The four come together by car to the beautifully furnished but unused villa. There they find the old caretaker Hector who has innocently prepared everything for the great feast.
