Just A Taste to Start (Ants On A Shrimp)

This was the first SIFF film I got to see and boy was it an experience.  Before this film, I had heard of NOMA (the best restaurant in the world) while watching Anthony Bourdain's show on the travel channel.  The food looks delicious and the concepts look fresh.  The film dives into NOMA's transition to Tokyo after the owner decides to move the restaurant and crew out of Copenhagen and into Asia.  The film was quite interesting to watch as the audience gets to experience the whole crew at NOMA and their process of moving the restaurant.  I do not recommend watching this one with an empty stomach, but if you do you might become full after devouring its content.  The film sort of unravels as we get to see all of the personalities of the staff.  Clearly, the director worked just as hard at making this film as the NOMA crew worked onscreen.  There are different segments that are put together to portray everything NOMA is about.  I like the style and narrative for the most part, but I would have liked the film a bit more if it had more organization.  At times, the segments feel scattered and the movie comes off a bit jumbly.  Overall, this was a good first film for the fest though!

The Bottom Line:  Even if you just taste a bit of this film, your mouth might start to water as it yearns for more.

Score: 7.6/10

A BRIEF AFTERTHOUGHT:  Some reviews may be a bit shorter during the film fest because there are so many films that I am watching!
