Review of The Chef

The Chef (2012)
9/10
Subtle, spicy, rich and funny
21 August 2019
Delightfully interesting, fun, entertaining and engaging. Jean Reno and Michaël Youn deliver the right amount of seriousness and levity to whet your cinematic appetite. I don't know French, but I stopped to savor every morsel of the subtitles in this film of culinary prowess.

Am I high on this film? Perhaps. But this is one of those comfortable masterpieces that I will enjoy seeing again and again, every bit as much as I will enjoy a favorite meal.

The hero's challenge carries just the right amount of gravitus. He wants to be true to his sweetheart, but also to his art. Can he find the right balance between professional and personal life? His journey to find out is well worth exploring.

Bon appetite.
