Plot
In the heart of a bustling Times Square kitchen, dreams and desperation collide as the staff each chase the elusive American dream..
Transposed from 1950s London to a contemporary midtown NYC diner, Arnold Wesker's play 'The Kitchen' shows its subject matter still possesses vitality and relevance despite the passing of almost seventy years
Major plot points have been altered but the general theme remains the same as overworked restaurant staff go through their daily grind to put food on the table for demanding customers.At the outset of 'La Cocina' $800 has gone missing from the till, resulting in an internal investigation which causes additional stress for employees.
Many of the workers are immigrants, and the atmosphere is raucous, profane, coarse and combative
Meanwhile one of the cooks Pedro attempts to persuade his waitress lover not to abort their child.
Several scenes go on too long – an interlude between the lunch and dinner service drags somewhat – and although Raul Briones' delivers a breathtaking performance, Pedro's histrionics become tiresome some time before the end
The B&W cinematography, flamboyant direction and astonishing acting capture these elements in a fantastic display of film-making pyrotechnics that leaves one open-mouthed in admiration.The screenplay's self-indulgent 140 minute length turns out to be the project& #39;s weak link.
It's a pity, because there's so much to admire here
