'Burnt': A feast for the senses . . . .

Posted by Billy Wonka on October 30, 2015 at 21:35:50:
Beautiful food, beautiful locations, beautiful art direction, so much beauty not even Bradley could kill this film.

Adam Jones finally shucks his one millionth oyster in NOLA and decides it's time to make his comeback as a top chef of Europe. His career at a top Parisian restaurant disintegrated from bouts of rage and uncontrolled amounts of alcohol and drugs. He makes his way to London looking for a break and finds it with Tony whose father was a hotelier. Along the way Adam pulls together a crew of chefs to start a new venture which includes some unlikely candidates and Sienna Miller.

The film splashes wonderful, exotic dishes all over the screen and shows the high activity of a top kitchen trying to earn its third Michelin star. There are abundances of beautiful backdrops and back streets of London. Tightly composed and edited this film has two sides: The visual feast and the coarse story of a maniacal chef.

I particularly enjoy film that has a travelogue element with rich local colors and this has. The beauty of the film and the magic of the kitchens make this a good date night movie.

Bradley doesn't excite me but the whole is greater than the sum of its actors. Be sure and have dinner first because Burger King won't be the same for the next week.
