A Taste of Hunger

"One of the high points in the career of any professional chef is to achieve, through their restaurant, a coveted Michelin star - if three stars come, even better. The Danish drama 'Smagen af sult', starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Katrine Greis-Rosenthal, is precisely about this search and, finally, the effects it can have on everyone's life. Here, specifically, filmmaker Christoffer Boe (from 'Department Q: In Search of Vengeance') dives into the story of a powerful couple in the gastronomic scene who enter a spiral of desire and envy in an attempt to conquer one of these little stars. It is a movie that starts calm, with even a certain slowness, but that soon takes an unexpected direction and will surprise by its cadenced rhythm."
