The kitchen-voyeuristic style of the movie and its insider view of pure culinary alchemy is fascinating, and the chefs' dedication to detail is astounding. "Going to eat in an avant-garde restaurant gives you something like a creative emotion," Adria says in the film. "It's not just about 'Mmm, tastes good.' You feel something." This one-night-only showing at the Denver FilmCenter should have local foodies feeling sated, if not completely satisfied.
El Bulli will screen today at 7 p.m. at the Denver FilmCenter, at 2510 East Colfax Avenue. Tickets are $7.25 to $9.75. For more information, call 303-595-3456 or visit www.denverfilm.org.
