FIVE STAR FILMS: MOSTLY MARTHA (2002-German)
Directed by Sandra Nettelbeck and rated PG. Dubbed "the second-best chef in the city" by her restaurant owner boss, Martha commands a formidable kitchen where she creates culinary artistry for a sometimes fussy clientele. Yet her personal life remains a failed souffle. Overnight, her orderly world is transformed by having to adopt a suddenly orphaned, difficult young niece. Then an engaging Italian sous chef, who embraces each moment as it comes, is hired to work in Martha's domain. Mario's presence lights up the place. At first, the sparks fly. Served up smart, with splashes of wit and a pinch of pathos. (German with English subtitles.)
