Julia Child was a superstar whose ‘Mastering the Art of French Cooking’ sold more than 2.5 million copies and changed the way Americans think about food, television and even about women.
Using never-before-seen archival footage, personal photos, first-person narratives, and cutting-edge, mouth-watering food cinematography, the film traces Julia Child's surprising path, from her struggles to create and publish the revolutionary ‘Mastering the Art of French Cooking' (1961) to her success on television.
A leader in America's food movement is rightfully praised and immortalized in a documentary that is a pleasure to watch. You can almost smell the Coq au Vin simmering on the stove.
