Selected Highlights
La Cocina
Description
Rooney Mara and Raul Briones Carmona star in this dynamic and beautifully photographed film based on Arnold Wesker’s 1957 play, The Kitchen.
It follows the inner-workings of a large and busy restaurant kitchen off Times Square in New York City. As the film introduces us one by one to the characters who make up the restaurant staff, we see both the hierarchical boundaries of class, gender, ethnicity, language and culture, and the camaraderie of teamwork in a pressurised environment. At times operatic and stylistically bold, the film’s modulating rhythm follows the changing focus on grand themes of the human condition, labour systems and class struggle, and an intimate portrayal of a nuanced interpersonal relationship. Rooney Mara gives an even-handed and determined performance as Julia, a waitress dealing with a crisis pregnancy. The film is written and directed by Mexican filmmaker, Alonso Ruizpalacios whose previous film, Museo (Museum), won Best Script at the Berlin International Film Festival.
