‘Club Zero’ Trailer: Mia Wasikowska Stars In Jessica Hausner’s Acclaimed, Subversive Body Horror

Nutritional experts are a dime a dozen on social media. You can’t scroll through Instagram or TikTok without seeing someone trying to pitch you on a new way to diet, often bordering on a form of disordered eating. That’s exactly the type of thing that is tackled in “Club Zero.”

As seen in the trailer for the film, “Club Zero” tells the story of a nutrition teacher who joins an international boarding school staff. She begins to enlist her students in “conscious eating,” but it soon spirals into something a bit more… extreme. The film stars Mia Wasikowska, Mathieu Demy, Elsa Zylberstein, Amir El-Masry, and Sidse Babett Knudsen. “Club Zero” is directed by Jessica Hausner, who co-wrote the film alongside Géraldine Bajard. The Austrian filmmaker’s most recent film is 2019’s “Little Joe.”

We saw “Club Zero” back at Cannes, and in our review, we called the film a “slow-moving, inexorable body horror” coming from “Austria’s most fearless button-pusher.”

“Club Zero” debuts in theaters on March 15. You can watch the trailer below.

Here’s the synopsis:

At an international boarding school, an unassuming, yet rigorous, Miss Novak (Mia Wasikowska) joins the teaching staff to instruct a new class on “conscious eating.” Her impressionable teenage students each have their own reasons for joining the class – to improve fitness, reduce their carbon footprint, or get extra credit. Although early lectures focus on mindful consumption, Miss Novak’s discussions soon become increasingly disordered and extreme. A suspicious headmistress, concerned parents and the failing health of her students lead everyone to question the inscrutable Miss Novak’s motivations for teaching the class. As a few devoted pupils fall deeper under her cult-like tutelage, they are given a new, even more sinister goal to aspire to – joining the ominous “Club Zero.”
