The ending of ‘Club Zero’ is so unsettling! After the long and intense scenes of extreme fasting and cult-like devotion to Miss Novak, her downfall is eventually tragic but also somehow understated in that it is psychological rather than explosive. Even though she is eventually dismissed from her role as teacher, her influence is, it seems, here to stay. Most disturbing of all is the final shot of her pupils who are still fanatically adhering to her diktats. They look vacant and almost as if they are simply repeating rote learns from the ideology that has horribly damaged them.

What scares me most is how normal and unspectacular everything is. The failing occurs within a system that does not see the decay, even when it is on the brink of collapse. And then there is the final image of the boys, once pupils of Miss Novak, now fanatically adhering to and enforcing the views of their former teacher. Have they been taken over by her ideals or has she merely surrendered to them?

This dark little gem has gotten under my skin and is sticking with me. Club Zero ends rather quietly and is even more unsettling because of it. For all of the psychological games that the weird and slightly disturbing Miss Novak has been playing with her followers, their obsession with ‘clean eating’ and the cult like atmosphere that they have all been living in, she just sort of disappears into the background. The children that she had been manipulating are all still there – in thrall to her ideology of ‘purity’ as they sit around whispering to each other while the world goes by. It’s rather very distressing and feels horribly real. The end does not provide any sort of catharsis.

Mirroring real life extremist behavior, the film builds a sense of unease mirroring how club-members’ obsessed behavior with ‘clean eating’ and narrowly defined health is mirrored on screen in a lovingly shot yet desolate world of increasingly extremist behavior. The film’s ending won’t bring you any closure and leave you itchy, uncomfortable and possibly even a little worried about the next charismata Wellness Guru who’s going to promise you the earth and even more ‘health’ benefits with every nouvelleiously-soundbited health pitch.

The ending to Club Zero is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. It is so far removed from the typical cult movie scenario where the protagonists manage to escape from the cult, or where the authorities step in and put an end to the group. Instead, Club Zero ends on a hauntingly ambiguous note, suggesting that Miss Novak’s teachings have taken root in her students, and that they are irretrievable. The scene in which a parent tries to make contact with their child is particularly upsetting, when the child is characterized by Miss Novak as needing to develop more discipline. As the parent of a child in the cult, the child recites lines of mumbo-jumbo back to the parent. The movie then goes on to reveal how ideology lasts long after the ideologue has gone.

It made me think of The Wave and of other such indoctrination tales as well as of the real-life scenarios this film is also based on. I particularly loved the image of the cafeteria – once teeming with the chatter of children now empty and silent apart from the sound of cutlery scraping against plates – in black-and-white silence. Simple. Yet to eat in a setting such as this would be to lose your appetite forever.
