On 11 April, as a part of Week of German Film, citizens of Sarajevo will have the opportunity to watch the first film called ‘Soul Kitchen’.
Celebrated filmmaker Fatih Akin, known for celebrated dramas like ‘Head-On’ and ‘The Edge of Heaven’, serves up a delightfully fresh comedy with his latest award-winning film. ‘Soul Kitchen’ is a delicious, free spirited story of food, friends, and rock & roll, winner of the Special Jury Prize and the Young Cinema Award for Best Film at the Venice Film Festival, and a smash with audiences at the Toronto and Tribeca film festivals. ‘Soul kitchen’ film centers on a likable but hopelessly disorganized restauranteur, Zinos (co-screenwriter Adam Bousdoukos) whose cafe is second home to a motley crew of lovable eccentrics. When his girlfriend Nadine up and moves to Shanghai, a love-sick Zinos decides to fly after her, leaving his restaurant in the hands of his unreliable ex-con brother Illias. Both decisions turn out disastrous: Illias gambles away the restaurant to a shady real estate agent, and Zinos finds Nadine with a new lover. If the brothers can stop arguing and get it together, the Soul Kitchen might still have one last chance at staying in business. The mayhem that follows is a hilariously entertaining story of self-realization, set to an irresistibly soulful soundtrack.
Film will be shown in Kriterion Cinema Sarajevo at 8 p.m. and the entrance is 2 BAM.
