Film festival season, and though I’m seeing new and terrific films now, I’m also remembering gems of festivals past.
Picasso as a waiter? Huh? Great image, no?
Well, this movie is a documentary that follows the wait staff at Glorious Catering… but, boy, does the movie go deeper than that!
What I really like about this doc is that without any talking heads, we follow each member of the serving staff at a catering event. Each one is adept in their role and we are a spy with backstage access.
Then we sneak a peek into each person’s “other life” and we discover each member of the team is vastly different and uniquely the same: painters, musicians, sculptors, and so on. A mosaic of talented artists!
You start to question your own identity as you re-label them. They are not wait staff who do art… they are artists that wait to pay the bills.
Who are we, then? We don’t have be the job that pays the bills. We can be… whatever we choose. We just have to do it.
So… what are you going to do?
Cheers & good on ya,
Deb
