We LOVE sushi, and we’re craving some actual good films after the shit we’ve sat through lately (Matrix<\/em> 2 and 3… WHY?!). That’s why we’re stoked that the\u00a0Berlin Film Society<\/a><\/strong> is showing this feature-length documentary at Agora Collective on Friday: Jiro Dreams of Sushi<\/em><\/strong>. We’re going to get there early so we can nom down some free\u00a0ricepipes<\/a>\u00a0and then sink a few in the Hecate pop-up cocktail bar afterwards. You can get tickets on\u00a0Gidsy<\/a>, or by emailing rsvp@berlinfilmsociety.com<\/a>. Here’s a little taster (!) of the film to whet your appetite (!!):<\/p>\n

A thoughtful and elegant meditation on work, family, and the art of perfection. The story of 85 year-old Jiro Ono, considered by many to be the world\u2019s greatest sushi chef. He is the proprietor of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant inauspiciously located in a Tokyo subway station. Despite its humble appearances, it is the first restaurant of its kind to be awarded a prestigious 3 star Michelin review, and sushi lovers from around the globe make repeated pilgrimage, calling months in advance and shelling out top dollar for a coveted seat at Jiro\u2019s sushi bar. At the heart of this story is Jiro\u2019s relationship with his eldest son Yoshikazu, the worthy heir to Jiro\u2019s legacy, who is unable to live up to his full potential in his father\u2019s shadow.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
