Entitlement and the Food Industry in 'The Menu'
'The Menu' has a strong story. The 5 acts, which are defined by the courses, are an excellent subversion of the classic 5-act film structure.
12 Strokes to Midnight
On the evening of December 31, 1999, a few hours before the passage to the third millennium and while returning home alone, Philippe unexpectedly meets Renata, a resplendent young girl with whom he falls madly in love.
Tired, in front of her luminous beauty, he loses all his means and lets her go without daring to talk to her. Furious with himself, he is bitterly reproaching himself for his shyness when, dream or reality, he suddenly finds himself on the street, facing Renata, as the first time. Almost in spite of himself, he is drawn into a whirlwind of desires and lust where hyper-sexy girls indulge in the most extreme pleasures.
So, is it just a dream?
