Club Zero Director Jessica Hausner on Her Film's 'Crazy Crash of Opinions'
Mia Wasikowska stars in Hausner's provocative new film about an anorexic cult, and speaks with us about Club Zero's themes.
Club Zero is the new film from Austrian auteur Jessica Hausner, who has always had a wry sense of humor that exposes hypocrisy and penetrates social customs. She's always been resistant to labels, often making films about seductive ideas and how they infect people, especially alienated ones; this is usually tragic (Little Joe, Hotel, even Lovely Rita) but can also be beautiful (Lourdes). So you could call Club Zero a comedy or very dark satire, but you're likely to be just as unsettled as you are amused.
