Secret de cuisine, l'Ambroisie

Le Monde: "There are films, like people, that strangely embrace you.

What determines a person to be what they are? That's the question posed in this portrait of Bernard Pacaud, one of France's greatest chefs, head of L'Ambroisie in Paris.

It's a rare film that conveys a little music, that of this shy, hypersensitive man at the height of his fame, a dissatisfied man who only feels good in front of his stove."

 

Télé 7 Jours: ‘More than an enchantment for the senses, something here passes on to the screen: that particular alchemy that sometimes arises between a virtuoso filmmaker and an inspired man’.

Un film de Frédéric Laffont

Editing: Jean-François Giré

Length: 52'
