The Menu (2022)


What a great idea to pit artist - those that serve up their creations - against art lovers - those that take this creativity, eat it up and either appreciate it or spit it out -- and how clever to do that in a kitchen where the artist, the chef, exerts tight artistic control (and so is particularly vulnerable to criticism) and where so much hyperbolic reality tv is set and where the discussion of food art has reached such a fever pitch that it simply begs to be lampooned, but the concept sags like a failed souffle at about the third course where a rush of ideas - the need to be not just clever about art but also woke about metoo and world finance - turns a sharp satirical observation about art into an uncentred all-out food fight.
