In "The President's Cook", Inspired by the true story of President François Mitterrand's private cookWe will meet Hortense Laborie, a renowned chef from Périgord who cannot quite believe that the President of the Republic has appointed her his private chef and that she will have to take care of all her private meals at the Elysee Palace. Despite the jealousy and envy of numerous members of the kitchen staff, Hortense quickly gains respect thanks to her genius. The authenticity of its dishes seduces the president, but the corridors of power are full of traps.
Catherine Frot, whom you will remember for her role in 'The crime is our affair', presents us with a dish that, as Javier Ocaña (Diario El País) has said: «Neither indulge nor repeat. (…) With a simple staging, not simple, perfect in rhythm (…) it is also surprising for the figure of the proposed President of the Republic ». An analysis that I share, since 'The president's cook' has found the recipe to offer us a simple but effective film that pleasantly surprises.
About Catherine Strong it can only be said that develops his role with ease, simplicity and tenderness, which give you a suitability point for it. One more ingredient, which the film has, since the human and gastronomic aspect of the film also have a lot to do with the final product, which will make us have a most pleasant time and will surely whet our appetite. .
