Roman restaurant rhythms

  • "Film ethnographique consacré aux cuisines des restaurants à Rome, et des liens conceptuels entre la cuisine comme pratique vécue et comme politique de l'identité. L'étude porte sur le rôle des immigrants dans le maintien des traditions culinaires locales en dépit des différences religieuses et culturelles qui les séparent des Romains d'aujourd'hui. [http://www.fl.ulaval.ca/]."
  • ""This delightful and mouth-watering documentary provides a 'backstage,' behind-the-scenes foray into the rhythms of food preparation in four traditional restaurants in Rome. Behind the stately courses of a modern Roman meal -- antipasto, pasta, perhaps a diversion into pizza, then a main course, vegetable specialty, and dessert -- lies another, more frantic tempo, hidden behind the swing doors of the kitchens. This is the space, as one restaurant owner remarks, that the customer doesn't get to see. As orders start arriving and organized confusion intensifies, the film explores the cultural diversity behind one of the world's most self-consciously traditionalizing of cuisines, its origins allegedly lying in ancient Roman recipes conserved by the Jewish culture of the ghetto but augmented by the pork-accented food of the hinterland. This dietary confusion now also confronts the Muslim Bangladeshis who constitute much of the restaurant labor force but who have adopted the Roman attitude of "accommodation" by treating work and religion as separate domains of life. Together the food artisans of Rome generate a kaleidoscopic feast of taste, smell, motion, and vision that will generate thought and discussion about culture, cuisine, and tradition in a wide array of courses."--Berkeley Media website."
