The focus of the next session for the English-language KINO! FILM SALON online film club on August 18th will be Sandra Nettelbeck’s culinary romantic comedy MOSTLY MARTHA.

“In her international breakthrough performance, Martina Gedeck shines in the title role of Sandra Nettelbeck’s MOSTLY MARTHA. The premise is straightforward enough: Martha, the fiercely independent head chef of an acclaimed restaurant finds herself the reluctant guardian of her eight-year-old niece, following a family tragedy. Things are further complicated by the arrival of Mario, an assertively charming Italian chef who forces Martha to confront and understand what really matters in a life she finds in sudden disarray. Beautifully played and written, MOSTLY MARTHA’S great strength is its ability to deliver a menu of emotional complexity and nuance that carries all the hallmarks and appeal of a classic romantic comedy. It’s a treat for foodies and old school movie lovers alike, transcending familiar genre parameters to deliver a richly rewarding, heartwarming and satisfying cinematic delight.”
