Frederick Wiseman on Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros | NYFF61

Frederick Wiseman joins FLC Senior Director of Programming Florence Almozini following the U.S. premiere of his NYFF61 Spotlight selection Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros to discuss eating at Troisgros, the logistics of shooting in a kitchen, and more.
The United States’s unrivaled maestro of observational nonfiction, Frederick Wiseman, brings his camera into a three-star Michelin restaurant in rural central France, and the results are as expansive, delectable, and provocative as one would hope. La Maison Troisgros, located in the Roanne commune in Loire, is run by head chef Michel Troisgros and his sons César and Léo. In addition to displaying the craft and skill that goes into Troisgros’s mouthwatering dishes, Wiseman takes an organic approach, bringing us to the local farms that provide the restaurant’s produce and animal products as well as behind the scenes with floor staff and administrators. The result is a patient, kaleidoscopic documentary portrait of the demand for perfection that makes for a surprising but apt subject in Wiseman’s decades-long inquiries into the inner workings of complicated institutions that function with their own rules and standards. A Zipporah Films release.
All NYFF61 feature documentaries are presented by HBO.

this documentary is one of the finest i have ever had the pleasure of watching, it took me a few days to watch it all (since it is 4 hrs), but the pace and the vibe and the tone was so pleasing
