Hot Lunch

About This Movie

So, 'Hot Lunch' is this quirky collection of three shorts from Nova that really strays from the conventional. It opens with a playful vibe—two macho dudes navigating their lunchtime cravings, which creates this light-hearted, almost cheeky atmosphere. The second segment, 'Soccer Games,' dives right into fantasy and physicality, showcasing some muscular bodies in a way that feels both dreamy and a tad surreal. It manages to blend humor with a flirtatious edge. What’s interesting here is the pacing; it flows nicely between the shorts, keeping you engaged with quick cuts and playful interactions. There’s a casual charm to the performances, which adds to the overall laid-back tone of the whole film.

This film has had limited releases over the years, making it somewhat of a gem for collectors. Its appeal lies not only in its light-hearted content but also in the way it captures a specific era of short filmmaking. 'Hot Lunch' can be tricky to find in good condition, especially in its original format, which adds to the intrigue for those who appreciate a well-curated collection.
