For his 50th film, veteran documentarian Frederick Wiseman takes an intimate look at the Troisgros family and their Michelin star–decorated restaurants: Troisgros, Le Central and Colline, located in three neighboring locations in central France. Wiseman captures the day-to-day operations of the preparation and service at these restaurants, following staff as they visit the local produce market, a cheese processing plant, a vineyard, an eco-conscious cattle ranch, and an organic farm that, along with the restaurant’s own garden, is their source of produce. With a distinctive menu and admirable dedication to biodiversity and the reduction of food waste, the Troigros family and their staff exhibit unmatched artistry, ingenuity, imagination—not to mention hard work.
The film will be shown in the Harry and Mildred Remis Auditorium of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston as part of the Boston French Film Festival on August 3 beginning at 12:30 pm. Tickets are available for purchase ($12 MFA members, $15 nonmembers) at www.mfa.org or call 1-800-440-6975. The film is French and English with English subtitles.
