Food and cinema are always at the forefront of our minds here at TakePart.  Well it seems we are not alone and that folks in Quebec are thinking about the same things.  This Saturday, as a part of MOMA’s film series Canadian Front 2009, a Quebecois documentary entitled Well Done will screen.  The film “examines two famed Montreal restaurants, Toque and Au Pied de Cochon; the friendship between their chef owners, Norman Laprise and Martin Picard; and the extreme-sport attitude they take toward their profession.” It also looks at both men’s efforts to promote the local foods of Quebec.

We talk a lot about local foods on this site, but something we something we don’t discuss very often is “foodie” culture - which can often come into conflict with more sustainable and moral eating (think foie gras).  It is nice to see a film that focuses on it.

It looks a little like reality tv but I think if you are into cinema or food you’ll probably have a good time watching Well Done (it screens this Saturday March 21st @ 4:15).  Give a watch to the trailer below and be sure to takepart with another food movie, Food, Inc.
