"You tell a story through a cake." IFC Films has unveiled the first official trailer for a G-rated pastry chef documentary titled Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles, which first premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. Documenting the collaboration between world renowned chef Yotam Ottolenghi (Jerusalem, Plenty cookbooks) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this feature film follows five visionary pastry makers as they endeavor to construct an extravagant food gala based on the art exhibit "Visitors to Versailles." Exploring the relationship between modern-day social media and the open court of the French Monarchy, the film studies the alarmingly cyclical intersection between food, culture, and history. From acclaimed filmmaker Laura Gabbert (City of Gold, Sunset Story), Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles perfectly captures the heights of human achievement and the frailty of decadence, adding taste as one more sense with which to experience the Met. This looks fun, but most of all, mouth-watering delicious. ›››
