Smaken av hunger

Sweet. Sour. Salt. Fat. Heat. The right combination of these elements is sublime, whether literal, in composing an exquisite dish like those created by master-chef Carsten, or, metaphorically, in relationships and in life.

Coster-Waldau masters the posture of the master chef, the Emeril lean-in-so-close-your-nose-almost-touches-the-food thing.

Whether the heated emotions and continual stresses are reasons or just catalysts for the deterioration of their romance is just one of the intriguing questions raised in this contemplative, stirring feature.

...a luscious production that lures viewers in through its well-crafted visual aesthetic and two brilliant central performances.
