An unhinged dumpling chef and her lover race against time (and debt collectors) in this unforgettably gross and hilariously over-the-top satire of Sydney foodie culture.
Landing somewhere between the splatter of Takashi Miike (the Mole Song trilogy, MIFF 2014, 2017 & 2022) and the wacky absurdism of Everything Everywhere All at Once, this madly exaggerated slice of satire from Asian-Australian filmmakers Will Suen and Sejon Im takes the chef’s cleaver to Sydney’s social strata and trend-chasing gastronomic culture. Whet your appetite: Sweet Juices serves up a boiling pot of mayhem that goes down a twisted treat.
