Dir. Louis-Julien Petit, France 2022, 97 minutes. In French with English subtitles. Cast. Audrey Lamy, François Cluzet, Chantal Neuwirth.
The latest film from The Joy of Cinema strand. Disgruntled sous-chef Cathy Marie leaves her job at a high-end gourmet restaurant to pursue her dreams of becoming a head chef at her own restaurant. But when her plans don’t quite work out, she finds herself strapped for cash and with a new job running the cafeteria at the local migrant shelter run by Lorenzo and Sabine. In charge of a run-down kitchen and needing to make food for hungry young men, Cathy hates her job, but it’s not long before she realises that she can provide valuable life skills – and maybe learn something herself too!
Charming, and brilliantly performed by a talented ensemble cast, The Kitchen Brigade packs mouth-watering food, big laughs and a valuable message into its runtime.
