Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia's THE PLATFORM (2019)

I'm told that quitting smoking really sucks, 
But so much that you'd choose to undergo
A treatment such as this, that gets you stuck
In Kafka's, Sade's and Howey's nightmare, though?
A tour through greed and hunger, mistrust, fear
And haute cuisine, where trigger warnings must
Abound! To say this film is somewhat weird
Is to opine that Dune involves some dust. 
The allegory's heavy, and I look
To soon be spending time exploring names 
As though this were a brutal Gene Wolfe book.
At any rate, it lives up to the claims
You're hearing, both admiring and annoyed. 
And so a little bit more faith's destroyed...
