Noma, My Perfect Storm
Noma is a restaurant in the city of Copenhagen. It focuses on foods that are specific to Scandinavia. The restaurant has won numerous awards, and it is praised by journalists from around the world. Noma’s co-owner and head chef René Redzepi is very passionate about food and the nature of the human body and its senses. He has a culinary philosophy that’s at once simple and profound: We do not just eat food, but we also eat the seasons. But the best part of this documentary is its cinematography. The images of Noma’s dishes are so stunning, it’s hard to believe they are objects you put in your mouth but you preserve forever with your eyes. CHARLES MUDEDE
