“Set in the kitchens, dining rooms and neighboring farms of a mouth-watering Michelin 3-star establishment,” writes Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter, “the film is both a food lover’s dream and an aspiring chef’s guidebook.” Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros is the most recent documentary from the tireless Frederick Wiseman, now 93. His film offers an immersive experience of La Maison Troisgros, an esteemed, family-owned restaurant of haute cuisine in Roanne, France. In traditional Wiseman style, the film’s 240 minutes offer no exposition or explanation. Instead, expect an unadulterated view of a top-flight eatery, delivered in a cinematic fashion that is at once ungarnished yet rich with reality. —Jack Sullivan
