6/10
Canadian short film "Next Floor" has something interesting to tell about one of the important cardinal sins.

Any piece of art about topics which are dear to a majority of human beings is bound to arouse radical reactions from people.Eating of food especially gluttony is something which would be censured by most of us as it goes against the basic principles of humanity.Canadian director Denis Villeneuve's short film "Next Floor" depicts a binge eating session which reveals how gluttony brings out the animal character of human beings.It is a film which has the capacity to shock viewers to the extreme.What can disturb the viewers most is the manner in which the entire act of gluttony is filmed.It is often said that cooking of food is an art.However,this notion turns out be false as Denis Villeneuve shows that eating of food especially gourmet food is a more expensive art which can be afforded by only selected people in the world.In a world where a vast majority of people do not get a chance to properly eat their three meals on a daily basis,a film like "Next Floor" is a grim reminder of challenges which lay before leaders of the world to provide enough food to all the hungry people.
