Time and Taste: A Trilogy

UCLA Student Film, Preserved by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. Part one is Chef Joachim Splichal, the chef de cuisine for the Regency Club in Los Angeles, speaking about the future of French cuisine, with the young chefs challenging the old cooking methods. Part two shows the preparation of fine dining foods. Part three shows the final products, with the menu items listed and the final dishes plated. The fine dining images are turned surrealist and disturbing when set to the intense mechanical score and with prolonged still shots.
