The Menu (Disney Plus)

JAKARTA - The Menu film can be watched on Disney+ Hotstar starting January 4. This comedy/satire/thriller from Searchlight Pictures reveals a number of interesting facts from the film starring Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult.

Searchlight Pictures, in its official statement, revealed that the fine dining experience of screenwriters is the main inspiration of this film. Several years ago while visiting Bergen, Norway, screenwriter Will Tracy visited a luxurious restaurant on a private island.

The journey traveled by ship and remote restaurant location, raises questions and fresh ideas, which end up being brought to Seith Ress.

They then make up a unique story and highlight the high-end restaurant experience, with a touch of unusual circumstances, which is the dark side of the industry which is very visible in the fine dining experience.

Subsequent fact, filmmakers collaborated with a well-known chef, Dominique Crenn, who has got three Michelin stars for his San Francisco restaurant, Atelier Crenn.

Chef Dominique Crenn with Executive Pastry Chef, Juan Contreras, and Food Stylist, Kendall Gensler, created foods that have artistic value and also look beautiful in front of the camera, but can still be eaten.

Furthermore, producer and director Mark Mylod requires actors to stay on set and use microphones at all times. This is done because he wants actors to explore each other's characters and he takes 360-degree pictures at all times.

The costume is no less important than the making of this film. The costume designer Amy Westcott, researches Michelin-starred restaurants, looks at photos of chefs and types of people who usually visit them.

"He (Mylod) wants everything to be really accurate so that the people who work in this world will understand it. In addition to the details that need to be right, we also add some hidden elements and details that need to be looked at carefully," Westcott explained as quoted by ANTARA.
