Event
Kings of Pastry
Seattle premiere!
(DA Pennebaker, Chris Hegedus, USA, 2010, DigiBeta, 87 min) Co-directed by esteemed documentarians D.A Pennebaker (Don't Look Back, Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars) and Chris Hegedus, this film follows some of the greatest pastry chefs in the world as they compete for the classification of Meilleur Ouvrier de France (Best Craftsman in France). They perform amazing and gravity-defying feats with sugar and flour like nothing Napoleon could ever have dreamt up. There's only one problem with this heartfelt movie—it makes you hungry for more!
"It's a good bet any cocky contestant on Top Chef would keel over from the rigors of the challenge, the rituals of which are treated with fervent concentration by these meticulous artistes with their piping bags and spun-sugar sculptures." —Entertainment Weekly
