“Menu”
What if on a summer evening you put on “Menu”? This is an American satire with elements of horror about a couple who go to an exclusive restaurant and are shocked by the menu. “From the very beginning of the thriller 'Menu' I knew that as a person who likes food I would quickly get hooked. And really hard,” wrote Serene Dai in a review on the website of the culinary magazine “Bon Appétit”. Watching “Menu” we can feel like we are in a real restaurant. This is partly due to Dominique Crenn – a Michelin-starred chef who consulted with the filmmakers. Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Rob Yang and others.
