Much like with the sudden public resurgence Steven
Soderbergh’s Contagion has experienced, this feature’s moment of trending recently makes a depressing level of sense.
An ostensibly straight-forward Spanish feature that uses architecture to
portray class divide; what separates those higher from those lower, using food
as the primary political symbol, similar to The Cook, The Thief, His Wife &
Her Lover. This has been a world of dietary inequality long before everything went
into lockdown, but now that we’re in the midst of fearful hoarding of food to
last out the potential months this shit could carry on for, it reaches a
particular level of poignancy in the current climate.
