Morte Cucina

São is a talented chef haunted by a tragic past. In an effort to live a normal life, she recently started to work as a waitress in a restaurant in Bangkok. But one day, she comes face to face to a man who once abused her. The timing is perfect for revenge. São uses her exceptional skills in the kitchen to teach her victim a lesson in a sophisticated way.

Thai director and writer Pen‑Ek Ratanaruang (‘Last Life in the Universe’, ‘Invisible Waves’) effortlessly blends gastronomy and revenge together in an oppressive thriller. ‘Morte cucina’ was the opening feature in the section “Culinary Zinema” at the San Sebastián International Film Festival in Spain. It is a psychological drama that interweaves gastronomy and emotion into a poignant story.
