The Quest of Alain Ducasse | Premieres in U.S. theaters Friday, June 8
Given some of the horror stories we hear today about larger-than-life chef personalities with tinier-than-appropriate senses of self control, it's refreshing and reassuring that a chef at the top of his culinary game also happens to be a decent and totally admirable human being. This documentary, which follows Alain Ducasse for a period of two years, provides a portrait of a man who is constantly curious about the world around him. What's more, this is a chef who, despite all the accolades accorded him during a lifetime of gastronomic wizardry, doesn't hesitate to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of those he encounters. — Bret
