Kings of Pastry2009
What makes this film worth watching?
"You’ll bite your nails and lick your lips. . .yet another depiction of top chefs going for it, but here’s the thing: They’re not competing against one another. They’re doing it for art." - David Edelstein, NY Magazine

Three words: Iron Pastry Chef. I saw this fun and gripping film at a festival a couple of years ago and am glad that it's on Fandor so others can see it too. As if competing to be the best pastry chef in the very land of pastry chefs weren't enough excitement, this fim has not just one of what Roger Ebert once called a "fish tank" -- a beautiful object placed in a film so that it can be spectacularly broken -- but one for each contestant.

Exciting and fascinating. My heart broke with the sugar piece. So beautiful! I admire the chef's "sang froid" I would have screamed my lungs out. I love the friendship between the chefs, their brotherhood. The contest itself is more nerve-racking than a thriller.
Magnifique! Tragique! Exciting & delicious to the very end. I would love to watch another M.O.F. competition filmed.
Great doc. It was engaging and worth watching. I'm not really into sweets, but this made me want to go get some dessert.
super entertaining
enjoyed !
