La Cocina, dir. Alonso Ruizpalacios, Mexico/US 2024, 139 mins., English and Spanish with English subtitles, 15
Book tickets
Themes of love and migration play out in the fire and frenzy of the enormous underground kitchen of a New York restaurant where Pedro, a Mexican cook, and Julia, an American waitress, navigate the paradoxically extreme and commonplace working conditions of the hospitality industry.
Based on the 1957 play The Kitchen by Arnold Wesker, La Cocina is a frenetic tribute to the unseen workers who cook and serves our meals.
