Next Floor is a 2008 Canadian absurdist 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.
