The Kitchen Brigade (12A)
French stars Audrey Lamy and François Cluzet lead a fantastic cast in Louis-Julien Petit’s big-hearted, feel-good comedy.
Disgruntled sous-chef Cathy Marie (Lamy) 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 (Cluzet) and Sabine (Chantal Neuwirth).
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.
