The Cook (2022) User Reviews

about vocation.

[Kirpianuscus · 5 May 2023]

A very simple - precise story about vocation , fall and dreams as way to fix the past.

Great cinematography, lovely music - it is a really beautiful surprise to discover Smetana and his Moldau- and fair acting offered by the young Guillaume. Soubeyran.

A metaphore absolutely, wise used . And a powerful message, offering the honest image of vocation, perspectives and addiction as way to insucces.

It is difficult to define this story of a young cook but it is obvious easy to feel it in profound manner, maybe just as personal experience or warning.

In short, just a beautiful film , in the most profound sense.

THE COOK is a short and strange film in 2022. It starts the black scene with the sound of a river running. After that, this film title appears on the screen. One chef washes fruits and he cut the something green. Then, he continues cooking. Suddenly, the screen is black, and scene changes to a new scene. He offers something cover with lid for naked men.

When he opens the lid, it is not a dish.

In this film, the black screen appears several times. It helps the viewer to understand scene change. This film has no lines and letter, so it is easy for viewers to understand this film.

Also, in this film, chef and naked men are same actor. It means that he plays two roles. It is so hard and difficult for an actor. He has to change facial expression. But he doesn't do. That's why, music and background help his expression. For these reasons, we have to be careful about sound, face and change of scene. I have never watched this film like the strange gener. You may feel that how to receive is changed before and after. So if you want to know ending and what he eats, I recommend to watch it.
