Film Column – Saccharine
['Alan Jacques']
Limerick Post Newspaper
AdvertisementTHERE’S eating and drinking in Australian body horror film Saccharine about anorexia and gluttony.
Written and directed by Natalie Erika James, this Melbourne-set cinematic delight is deeply atmospheric, grisly, psychologically overwhelming and artfully framed.
Unable to afford the expensive pills, Hana brings one of the samples she has been given free-of-charge to the university lab.
Saccharine is not always easy to stomach but it handles its tough subject matter with great sensitivity and empathy.
This is a truly powerful and unique addition to the body horror canon.
