За филмов

Curtis Duffy, one of the country's most renowned chefs, is building his dream restaurant despite the nightmarish state of his personal life. The recipient of two coveted Michelin stars, Duffy has a laser focus on his cooking career that cost him his marriage and two young daughters. His ambition is to make his Chicago restaurant, Grace, the best in the country. FOR GRACE follows the building of the restaurant from concrete box to its opening night. It also revisits Duffy's turbulent childhood: how a teacher recognized talent in a troubled teenager; how an unimaginable family tragedy made Duffy seek refuge in the kitchen; and how cooking took from him as much as it gave.

I walked into this film thinking it would be a foodie / technical film about what it takes to open and run a Michelin-rated restaurant. It is that - foodies will love the detail and the beautiful food filmography - but it's much deeper. At its core this is a film about the daily human struggle / trade off between being great and leading a balanced life. The film dives into the tragic and inspiring childhood of chef Curtis Duffy, and portrays him not only as an incredibly talented and disciplined chef but also as a human who constantly questions who he is and who he wants to be. Beautiful and unexpected film!

This documentary is MUST WATCH. Whether or not you are a foodie, you'll be inspired by Chef Curtis Duffy's incredible journey to create a 3-star Michelin restaurant.

Good experience of this Doc.
