Republic of Food

About This Movie

Republic of Food is this quirky little gem from 2018 that dives into a bizarre dystopia where food is illegal. The tone is a mix of absurdity and rebellion, you know? It’s got this ragtag group of characters, each with their own reasons for craving the forbidden. The pacing is pretty snappy, which keeps you on your toes, but there are these moments of genuine reflection on what food means to us—it's not just sustenance, it's culture, it's community. The practical effects for the food scenes are surprisingly delightful, and the performances have a certain charm that elevates the material. It’s a distinctive take on the whole dystopian genre, with a comedic twist that feels fresh.
