'Kitchen' is based on the original Japanese Manga 'I Love the Kitchen', and this Hong Kong/Japanese co-production captures the manga's imagery beautifully.
Director Ho Yim manages to let Jordan Chan and Yasuka Tomita to show some of their true selves within the characters they portray. The result is two commendable performances and a great on screen chemistry.
'Kitchen' is a very slow film, taking a long time to travel little distance, which may not appeal to some. But those who are patient will be in for a treat. Slow dreamy crane shots, gentle picturesque scenes, and some surreal changes of pace. Well worth investing two hours of your time.
