by Frederick Wiseman
The venerable French restaurant "La Maison Troisgros" has been awarded three Michelin stars for over 50 years. The Troisgros family is already running its restaurant business in the fourth generation. César has just taken over management of the business from his parents. Frederick Wiseman, one of the most influential documentary filmmakers of all time, takes a look behind the scenes of the tradition-steeped gourmet restaurant. In his signature direct-cinema style, he provides an exciting glimpse into the operations of haute cuisine and the dining room where guests are spoiled. A thoroughly enjoyable cinematic delicacy.
