Le Cuoche

Directing: Jan Jedlička

Synopsis

Jedlička paid homage to the daily lives of three Italian sisters working in their family restaurant with his 1999 film Le Cuoche. While a generation of grandmothers – Milena, Morena, and Mari – rule the kitchen, their daughters Giovanna and Nicoletta cater to the restaurant’s guests. A knowledge of the region and strict formal concept are what give this “portrait” its authenticity.
