La Cocina
Tensions rise in a frenzied New York diner, in this loose reworking of Arnold Wesker’s 1957 play.
Overview
Throwing the viewer straight into a hectic Hell’s Kitchen diner, a buzzing camera observes the comings and goings of cooks, kitchen aides and waitresses delivering a plethora of orders. Mexican director Alonso Ruizpalacios (Güeros, A Cop Movie) serves up a dazzling concoction of heightened emotions and professional rivalries as newbies and veterans navigate a frenzied work environment.
