Welcome to day one of the New View film season: a five-part celebration of cutting-edge documentary-making that aims to cover all bases. We're kicking off with El Bulli: Cooking in Progress, a profile of the legendary Spanish restaurant which rose to worldwide renown under chef Ferran Adri?. It pioneered the notion of "molecular gastronomy", won its third Michelin star in 1997, and closed in 2011.
Here's what what Observer film critic Philip French thought:
This film is a memorial to a peculiarly elitist culinary aesthetic where everything is new, original, cutting edge, following the master of "molecular gastronomy" on one of his last big years. The theme of the year is water in all its forms, starting with a water cocktail, and most of the delicate courses ? often involving "vacuumising", "spherification" and "freeze-drying" ? look more like exhibits in a natural history museum than in a restaurant. The film follows Adri? and his chief lieutenants in the laboratory and moves with them as they are joined by some 40-odd junior chefs (the vast majority male) at the restaurant, where the final rehearsals take place before the season starts.
