a bitter feast

Recently on the advice of my teacher I watched a thriller in order to better comprehend the conventions of the genre. I watched the 2010 thriller Bitter Feast about a restauranteur and TV chef who is driven insane when bad reviews from a biased critic and his stand on organic ingredients get his TV show cancelled and his restaurant shut down. He kidnaps the critic and forces him to earn his food by cooking it himself. He forces the critic to cook foods that he criticised and only lets him eat them if they are cooked to perfection.

This film carries a message about the importance of well being and also an example of the red hood principle. "All it takes is one bad day to drive the sanest man alive to lunacy."
overall rating 8/10
