Next Floor is a 2008 Canadian dark comedy short film directed by Denis Villeneuve.
[1] The film, largely wordless, depicts a group of eleven people endlessly gorging themselves on raw meats at a banquet.
[1] During an opulent and luxurious banquet, attended by servers and valets, eleven pampered guests participate in what appears to be ritualistic gastronomic carnage.
The film was conceived by producer Phoebe Greenberg and directed by Denis Villeneuve during a break from production of his feature film Polytechnique.
[3] For Indiewire, journalist Zach Hollwedel theorized that the banquet attendees were in hell, and being forced to atone for their gluttonous lifestyles when they were alive, or that the film was a metaphorical comment on the voracious and destructive nature of human consumerism.
