# La cocina (2024)

2024 · R · 139 min · Drama · Mexico, United States


## Synopsis

La cocina is a 2024 comedy-drama film written and directed by Alonso Ruizpalacios. The film elaborates on the theme and style of Ruizpalacios' early short Café Paraíso (2008) and is based on the 1957 stage play The Kitchen by Arnold Wesker, which was already adapted to the 1961 film The Kitchen. However, while in the play and the British film the kitchen staff were continental European immigrants, in the present film they are mostly Latin Americans with some Arabs. The film stars Raúl Briones, Rooney Mara, Soundos Mosbah, Anna Díaz, Motell Foster, Oded Fehr, Eduardo Olmos and Spenser Granese.
