When food first comes to the main character in the austere, abstract film \u201cThe Platform\u201d \u2014 No. 5 on the Netflix Top Ten as of this writing \u2014 his appetite is MIA. And that might be partly the point of this Spanish riddle in which prisoners wait, Godot-style, in a cold, vertical prison for a picked-over smorgasbord to arrive from the floors above.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a miracle no one touched the snails,\u201d our protagonist wonders aloud to his cellmate later, hungry at last. Eerie violin music punctuated by harsh metallic sounds sets the score.<\/p>\n

Since we\u2019re all sheltering in place during the coronavirus crisis until at least mid-April, what better time to snack upon streaming food media both freakish and fanciful?<\/p>\n
