Cooking History

A peculiar documentary that often skirts the line between clever & stupid, but I'm going with the former. It's tough to say exactly what this documentary is about, as it's only superficially "about" army cooks and their recipes. At times it's a darkly humourous contrast between the horrors of war and the levity of cooking; at others Kerekes seems to be drawing parallels between the soldier's slaughter and the cook's and examining the moral culpability of the cook as part of the war machine.
