  • Summary: In 2003, the French celebrity chef Bernard Loiseau, fearing the loss off one of his Michelin stars, shot himself with a sporting gun. "Three stars" explores the psychological and economical effects that the Guide Michelin puts on the Haute Cuisine with its paramilitary-style organized kitchens. The scenery changes from the hectic activities at the stove to the on-site laboratories, where the newest menus are designed. The protagonists from nine different kitchens are given the opportunity to freely speak about their daily routine, their personal worries and their ambition to make it to the very top.

    Hachmesiters's Three Stars is a treat, largely because it eschews the standard arc of documentaries.

    The doc has little to say about the Michelin ranking system that hasn't been said, but offers enough behind-the-scenes interest to entertain foodies and inspire a few additions to their dining-experience bucket lists.

    The dishes dazzle in Lutz Hachmeister's documentary Three Stars, a cinematic helping of some of the world's finest restaurants - and of their chefs' opinions.

    Three Stars works best as straight-up food-porn.
