Summary of Mostly Martha
When a headstrong chef takes charge of her equally stubborn 8-year-old niece the tensions between them mount until an italian chef arrives to lighten the mood. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 12/30/2003 Starring: Martina Gedeck Maxime Foerste Run time: 105 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Sandra NettelbeckMostly Martha is a rich addition to the recent banquet of movies about food. Martha (Martina Gedeck), the domineering chef at a fancy restaurant, has her rigid routine broken when her sister dies in a car wreck, leaving behind her 9-year-old daughter Lina (Maxime Foerste). Martha takes the girl in, but has no gift for maternal expression; she offers Lina food, but Lina refuses to eat. Meanwhile, her control over her kitchen is threatened when her boss hires a buoyant Italian named Mario (Sergio Castellitto) to assist, and Martha finds herself flailing in an effort to reestablish control of her life. While Mostly Martha may not hold many surprises, the writing, direction, and particularly the acting are as sumptuous and sensual as the cooking and eating. The relationship between Martha and Lina is portrayed with all its awkwardness and complications intact; the result is wonderfully affecting. --Bret Fetzer
