Rating: 4/5 -- Jiro Dreams of Sushi sets a drool-flecked new standard in food porn, and makes the moanings and gruntings of Nigella Lawson look softcore by comparison. Full Review

It's no surprise that the tall, spry jokey Jiro is a perfectionist, but the film's real allure is his obsession with simplicity... -- Grade: B+

Tying the film together is its aesthetic, which mirrors and accentuates the simplicity of Jiro's methodology and environment.

JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI is as elegant and tasty as the splendid sushi prepared by the man in the title, and that is saying a lot.

Product Description:

Jiro Ono is one of the most-respected and acclaimed sushi chefs in Japan. At the age of 85, he operates an exclusive sushi restaurant, Sukiyabashi Jiro, with a long waiting list for reservations (the restaurant has a mere ten tables and a typical meal costs $300) and a prized three-star rating from the Michelin restaurant guide. Perfecting the art of sushi has been one of Ono's obsessions since he was a young man, and filmmaker David Gelb offers a delicious look into his life and work in the documentary JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI. In the film, Ono discusses his unhappy childhood, his early days in the restaurant game, and his techniques and philosophies about his chosen dish; he also interacts with fish dealers and his two sons, both gifted chefs who live and work in their father's shadow. JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI was an official selection at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival.
