Documenting the collaboration between world renowned chef Yotam Ottolenghi (Jerusalem, Plenty) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this feature film follows five visionary pastry makers as they endeavor to construct an extravagant food gala based on the art exhibit “Visitors to Versailles.” Exploring the relationship between modern-day social media and the open court of the French Monarchy, the film studies the alarmingly cyclical intersection between food, culture, and history. Filmed across three countries, the feature debuts the collaboration between the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and global food sensation Yotam Ottolenghi in their retelling of the rise and fall of Versailles through pastry. Handled with lesser care, the subject would seem similar to a concert or event documentary, but through the discerning and careful eyes of Ottolenghu, the filmmakers were treated to a deeper understanding of our world through food. At a time when the French Monarchy lived in the public eye to help broadcast the country's splendor and wealth, the king's subjects felt only exclusion and unrest. Fast forward one hundred and fifty years to the advent of social media and we find a new populace broadcasting their riches, food, and prosperity. In its wake, we see a familiar longing for community, a similar patriarchal structure, and the same potential for revolution. From history to food, the film is an exploration of the intersection of craft and excess. Please enjoy and thank you for your consideration.
