Speaking of masterpieces. The “magnum opus” was a fixed idea and the result of—oh no, them again—traumas tearing the main character, Chef Slowik, brilliantly played by Ralph Fiennes. Diabolical and hypnotizing, his character wasn’t extremely deep and nuanced, the same could be said about the whole movie, but..! It is far from being stupid, nevertheless.

“Menu” balances between the worlds of mainstream movies and festival, arthouse films. The flavor of its directing is more condensed than in a regular movie, but not as sophisticated as in a critically-acclaimed indie picture. Bad or not, it’s up to the viewer, but what can be stated for sure is that this film is eccentric. Again, not to the extremes yet satisfyingly enough.

Do you ever wonder how the establishment behaves behind the curtains? Are they funny dumbasses or just the same as common people? How do they behave in the face of danger? If that sound like something curious to investigate, think no more as “Menu” studies many behavioral patterns, including one of the most relevant nowadays—relationships between a tyrant and the nation.

I’d be more than happy to talk about this film for hours, especially in a flamboyant manner, but it’d be more and more hilarious due to the context of the film. Why? Better watch it yourself than ask me for spoilers.
