Kings of Pastry

Taglines
16 Chefs, 3 Days, 1 Chance
Overview

The collar awarded to the winners of the Meilleur Ouvrier de France (Best Craftsman in France) is more than the ultimate recognition for every pastry chef - it is a dream and an obsession. The 3-day competition includes everything from delicate chocolates to precarious six foot sugar sculptures and requires that the chefs have extraordinary skill, nerves of steel and luck. The film follows Jacquy Pfeiffer, founder of The French Pastry School in Chicago, as he returns to France to compete against 15 of France's leading pastry chefs. The filmmakers were given first time/exclusive access to this high-stakes drama of passion, sacrifice, disappointment and joy in the quest to have President Sarkozy declare them one of the best in France.

Overview

La patiserie es para Francia una cuestión idiosincrática. La excelencia no es algo a lo que la crema de los patissières franceses aspiran, sino algo que necesitan. Esa necesidad tiene un curioso título honorario: Mejor Obrero de Francia, categoría exclusiva a la que se accede luego de superar tres días intensivos de hornear y moldear con precisión, delicadeza y velocidad. El tándem Pennebaker y Hegedus nos lleva a la cocina de ese mundillo y observa, con tierna complicidad, a los sufridos candidatos en su rally culinario, al ritmo dulce de Django Reinhardt. Hay algo conmovedor en ver a estos tipos maduros construyendo esculturas de azúcar como nenes, embelesados con su propia creación mientras a su alrededor se los ausculta con el rigor de un campo de concentración.
