DOXA Documentary Film Festival’s Motion Pictures Film Series, in partnership with the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, is proud to present the Vancouver premiere of Sally Rowe’s A Matter of Taste. Fresh off its premiere at the TIFF Lightbox, A Matter of Taste plunges audiences into the cutthroat world of New York restaurant culture. At the tender age of 24, Paul Liebrandt was awarded three stars by the New York Times for culinary curiosities such as "eel, violets and chocolate," "espuma of calf brains and foie gras," and "beer and truffle soup."
In a city where a single bad review from the paper of record (The New York Times) and its food critic Frank Bruni can spell the difference between meteoric fame or abject failure for a restaurant, a lot rests upon Liebrant’s culinary chops. Like a real-life version of Ratatouille (albeit with fewer rats), A Matter of Taste is part suspense tale and part insider’s look into kitchen culture, with its hours of hard work and attention paid to the minutest of details. Most curiously, the film charts the course of one city’s love affair with food, and how larger events shape and change public appetites. As the entire restaurant anticipates Bruni’s review, your heart will be in your mouth!
“Passionate and meticulous, combining incongruous ingredients with the visual panache of a culinary Kandinsky, Liebrandt works with an endearing mix of dedication and sheepishness…”
– Variety
The screening will be followed by a Skype interview with director Sally Rowe.
