Yes, its strange. No, its not a horror comedy, at least not the sort most people mean when they use that term. It is funny, though, and pretty horrific. A brilliant and witty send up of avant-garde performance art, 70s Euro art films, the music business, 80s fashionistas and food snobbery.
It reminded me of Bunuel as it skewers and roasts bourgeois "culture" and (f)art. I've enjoyed all of Strickland's films that ive seen, and they all have humor in them, but this is easily the funniest.
Many reviewers on here seem to hate this because it makes no logical sense, doesn't explain things in wordy exposition and is improbable. I sometimes wonder just what it is people expect from cinema, and from films like this. Pretentious ? Sure it is, what creative endeavor worth your time isn't ? Do people really want their culture served up to them in easily digested pre-chewed lumps? Oh, i guess they do. Flux Gourmet, indeed.
