Really solid Doc showing the frustration of a Chef who is working at a level beyond what many people can clearly understand. Enjoyable watch!
3 1/2 it is a good movie but you cannot help but feeling that this Chef's genius got normalized into the mainstream of french-derived minimalism cuisine. The creative force of the first dishes where he paints like Kandinsky and really sees himself as a forward looking avant-garde artist gets restrained in his ever growing obsession fear for reviews and media judgments. In this regard it remembers me of MICHELIN STARS - THE MADNESS FOR PERFECTION, a documentary depicting the stress that the michelin star system puts onto chefs and if it is worth it to obsessively analyze their rating system to modify the restaurant's food offer accordingly with it. Overall interesting psychological and formational journey, but more details about his cooking style and food vision would have been nice.
yes
great movie
