This looks fascinating! "A sensorial, cinematic immersion venturing inside the human body…another triumph of documentary avant-gardism.
A camera snakes down labyrinthine entrails and probes squishy, wet caverns alien in appearance." Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBu0Dh8wy0U&t=8s

This film might not be for everyone, pls read to the bottom for more info.

Rotten Tomatoes: "It is an uncanny spectacle. Your eyes will not believe some of the things they see in this movie. The only question is whether your stomach can handle them."

“One of the top ten films of the year (#2) Cinema Scope”

For some reason I think sushi would be an apt starter. So we’ll go to one of my fave nearby sushi places(they serve other things too like tempura, gyoza, udon etc) at 430 pm for a snack first. If you’d like to join for this part, direct message me and I’ll keep you in the loop/share details.
