In 2008, such a delicate and quirky short film won the Canal+ Television Award at the 61st Cannes Film Festival and the Special Jury Prize of the 33rd Toronto International Television Industry.
Even in the major film review websites, the score is also good, Douban score 8.3, IBDb 7.5.
But a film without big names, no dazzling stunt shots, and no lines.
Looking at the director's work, this short film is also a top evil work.
So what kind of work is this, the short film is only 11 minutes, but the elements are very rich.
The exquisite and elaborate lens language in the short film,
And the serious and profound meaning of the representative is even more inconceivable to make the audience think deeply and frightened.

The story begins with a long, extravagant feast on a long dining table in a dimly lit room.
Eleven guests bowed their heads, and from their attire, it was inferred that there were soldiers, politicians, scientists, financiers, artists, and ordinary people sitting around a long table.
Served by a group of attentive attendants and servants, the food on the table was eaten, and the wind and clouds eroded the delicacies on the table.
But without exception, everyone was covered in dust and seemed to have just experienced a great catastrophe.
The picture is exquisite and exquisite, the soundtrack is mysterious, the scene scheduling is excellent, and the character characteristics are distinct,
The directors use different costumes to represent their respective identities.
They enjoy the food with different looks,
The quirky atmosphere draws in the audience while also making people wonder who they are and why they are doing it.
Plates of food were brought up on plates full of bloody corpses and offal of animals.
The guests are like hungry ghosts who are hungry and eat without anyone around.
The floor suddenly broke and the guests fell to the next floor along with the dining table.
The service staff calmly moved to the next floor, cleaned up and the banquet continued.
Diners without moderation and compassion are like layers of hell that will never be recovered...
Seeing at the end we finally know that exotic beasts and attendants represent temptation,
The greedy desire to possess a table full of food and the intimate service of the waiters make it impossible to stop.
And when they first fell, the food on the table became noticeably more "heavy on taste."
The cooked food was replaced with bloody offal,
The simple roast meat turned into plates of exotic beasts.
People also gradually fall with the fall,
From the initial politeness, to the wolfing, the eyes also became extremely fierce.
And then the crowd seemed to go crazy,
Almost in a face-tearing posture, you start to fight for it, regardless of table manners.
The woman in the short film, even if she has doubts, even if she will refuse at first.
But when any action of the individual can no longer change the trend of society,
No matter how she had understood,
Eventually, they will lose their minds in despair and continue this absurdity that leads to hell.
Identities are different between people,
Greed can make us the same kind of people. Human greed is never-ending.
Just like the diners in this film go from being elegant and reserved to grabbing food from each other,
After the dust is left on the body, there is no way to distinguish the identity, and the greedy will eventually fall into the dark abyss.
