After ‘Jiro Dreams of Sushi,’ ‘Mitani’ tells a different sushi story in San Sebastian
The film moves beyond sushi's polished international image to explore the man, philosophy and discipline behind the craft.
San Sebastian, Spain – In the latest San Sebastian International Film Festival, Japanese filmmakers claimed several accolades despite the shadow cast by David Gelb's 2011 documentary, "Jiro Dreams of Sushi." "In My Father's Room," directed by Maha Harada, emerged victorious in the FIPRESCI and Ateneo Guipuzcoano awards, while Ryusuke Hamaguchi's "All of a Sudden" secured the RTVE Otra Mirada prize.
"MITANI — The Marriage of Sushi," another Japanese submission, debuted at Culinary Zinema, where the American documentary "Burgundy" claimed the section award.
