CHILD STAR
ulia Child’s legacy is set to find its way back onto the silver screen with the release. Narrated by her friends and family, influential chefs and quotes from the late Child herself (including zingers like, “I find if people aren’t interested in food, I’m not very much interested in them. They seem to lack something in the way of personality.”) the film charts her impact on cooking, feminism and television. Chronicling her moves to Sri Lanka and Paris, her endeavours at Le Cordon Bleu and revolutionary first book (which took 12 years to write and test) and its subsequent impact, Child’s story is empowering, uplifting and of course, delicious. From the opening scene of Child butchering, buttering and roasting a chook; to braising beef for Bourguignon, the food cinematography will leave you wanting to dive into Child’s recipe archive, all while doing your best Child impressions along the way.
