The Menu,” the latest film from Searchlight Pictures (“Nomad Land” and “The French Dispatch”), is currently screening to rave reviews on Friday, November 18.
Margo (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Tyler (Nicholas Hoult) are a couple visiting an isolated island off the Pacific coast. They are looking forward to the exquisite menu prepared by the famous chef Slovik (Ralph Fiennes), who is hard to get a reservation for. Tyler is moved to tears by the delicious food, which is both pleasing to the eye and the palate, but a sudden feeling of discomfort on the part of Margo gradually creates an uneasy atmosphere in the restaurant. But something unexpected is on the menu…. What secrets are hidden in the restaurant and in the exquisite course menu?
And who is the mysterious and famous chef Slovik?
The director is the winner of three Golden Globe Awards (Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress, all in the TV Drama Series category) for his HBO drama series “The Media Kings: A Family of Splendors. The film was produced by Mark Mylod, who is one of the hottest talents in Hollywood right now. Produced by Adam McKay of “Money Short” and “Don’t Look Up,” the film is a superb suspense film spiced with satire and laughter.
The New York premiere of “The Menu” was held on Tuesday, November 15, local time! The film’s star-studded cast includes Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Nicholas Hoult!
The UK premiere of “The Menu” was recently a great success, with Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult in attendance and a performance by an unusually well-organized army of chefs at the venue, in keeping with the film’s theme. With this premiere still fresh in our minds, the New York premiere was held on Tuesday, November 15 (local time), just before the film’s release in the United States, featuring Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Ralph Fiennes, and other members of the film’s splendid cast and crew! The media came out in droves to catch a glimpse of the gorgeous cast and crew!
Dressed in a chic suit, Fiennes said, “I play Chef Slovic, who runs a fine restaurant on an island. He has a very wealthy clientele who pay a lot of money for a great culinary experience, and cooking has to be a high art form. I was sympathetic to the film, and I kind of liked the purity of his ideas.” He commented on his role!
Taylor-Joy, wearing a luxurious black Dior dress, said, “There are a few scenes that are not in the script, but director Mark (Myrod) and Nicholas were kind enough to let me play those parts however I wanted, for which I am very grateful. He reflected on the filming of the movie.
She also commented on the film’s satire and laughs: “For me, satire is funny when the character you play is serious about something, and the more he has to lose, the funnier it is. On the other hand, a scary work needs a moderate change in tone, because if it is scary all the time, the audience will become dulled by fear. That’s why I think that the genres of horror and comedy go hand in hand and are both interesting. He also commented that the film is set in a high-class restaurant.
In addition, the audience was asked the question “Are you a fine dining type of person? Do you prefer takeout? I am definitely a take-out person, but I learned a lot more about fine dining through this film, and I also gained a new appreciation for the greatness of the chefs who create the food that is served. And he was sincere in his response!
Holt, who, like Taylor-Joy, appeared in a long, fresh beige coat by Dior, said, “I think everyone who sees the film will have a different opinion of it. There are different points that you can relate to, such as the shameful secrets of the guests invited to (the restaurant) being exposed one after another by the chef, or the pain of being undervalued artistically and creatively as a professional.” He added, “I myself like satirical films and dark comedies, but in terms of acting, I often don’t dare to play the truth or the real person. I think it’s the very nature of the genre that because of the ridiculousness of the characters, they can be satirical, funny, or momentarily horrifying.” He also revealed his attitude toward acting.
The film has finally opened to the public. Please enjoy the performance of the splendid cast, the satire, the laughter, and the suspense of a story that is not easy to follow!
