Film Forum is pleased to present the U.S. theatrical premiere of KINGS OF PASTRY, by legendary documentary filmmaking team, D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus (DONT LOOK BACK, MONTEREY POP, THE WAR ROOM), opening September 15. Sixteen contenders seek the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France ("MOF"), France's highest honor in the sublime art of patisserie, employing vast amounts of sugar, butter and eggs - not to mention adrenaline - to create gorgeous, fantastical, delicious creations. Some of the world's most accomplished chefs gather in Lyon for three intense days of mixing, piping and sculpting everything from delicate chocolates and elaborate cream puffs to six-foot-high sugar sculptures. D. A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus secured exclusive access to shoot this never-before-filmed event. They follow chef Jacquy Pfeiffer, co-founder of Chicago's French Pastry School, as he journeys to his childhood home of Alsace to practice for the contest. During the competition itself, chefs work under constant scrutiny by master judges and their critical palates. These pastry marathoners race to deliver their creations (including extraordinarily fragile sugar sculptures) without shattering them. It's a suspenseful quest for artistic perfection - brimming with passion, sacrifice, disappointment, and joy - to become one of the KINGS OF PASTRY. -- (C) Film Forum

New Review For Movie Kings of Pastry
The Food Network is awash with cooking- and baking-competition shows, but The Kings of Pastry operates on a much higher level.Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
Documentary peeking into a high-stakes French competition will fascinate foodies.
John DeFore-Hollywood Reporter
The documentary proves almost as sweet as its subject.
Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
What makes Kings of Pastry more than a sugar-coated showcase of culinary porn is its emphasis on the individual human dramas that exist behind all of these delicacies.
Jason Anderson-Toronto Star
As satisfying as, er, pain au chocolat.
Stephanie Merry-Washington Post
Beyond the treats, which are complicated and no doubt mind-bending to consume, the film has its layers as well.
Peter Hartlaub-San Francisco Chronicle
Beyond the competition, "Kings of Pastry" celebrates food as an art form to be savored, not a commodity to be consumed absent-mindedly.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
These guys are obsessed.
Liz Braun-Jam! Movies
... through highly skilled directing and editing, this documentary comes alive with universal concerns and emotional content.
Emily S. Mendel-culturevulture.net
The premise is pastry, but the story is about having a dream
Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews
[A] light-as-a-cream-puff film about a pastry competition in France.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
Slowly blossoms into something engaging and even poignant, despite an uninspired, point-and-shoot style that rivals Sarah Palin for its lack of inquisitiveness.
Brent Simon-Shared Darkness
I know, I know ... how exciting can a cooking movie be? As it turns out, really exciting.
Robert W. Butler-Kansas City Star
The arcane world of elite dessert chefs forms the atmospheric setting one of the ultimate tests of strength and spirit. Another winner from Hegedus and Pennebaker.
Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics
If you are addicted to the Food Channel and cannot get enough of Gordon Ramsey, "Kings of Pastry" is a must see...if you have a sweet tooth, your mouth will water and your mind whirl with this carefully balanced ballet of culinary delight.
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews
Cooking competitions have become one of the mainstays of the every burgeoning genre known as reality television. But "Kings of Pastry" apart is set apart by many things, including a long historical tradition.
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
Hegedus and Pennebaker treat this event as both rehearsal and performance, allowing occasional moments of beauty and humanity to peek through.

Movie Overview For Kings of Pastry
The collar awarded to the winners of the Meilleur Ouvrier de France (Best Craftsman in France) is more than the ultimate recognition for every pastry chef - it is a dream and an obsession. The 3-day competition includes everything from delicate chocolates to precarious six foot sugar sculptures and requires that the chefs have extraordinary skill, nerves of steel and luck. The film follows Jacquy Pfeiffer, founder of The French Pastry School in Chicago, as he returns to France to compete against 15 of France's leading pastry chefs. The filmmakers were given first time/exclusive access to this high-stakes drama of passion, sacrifice, disappointment and joy in the quest to have President Sarkozy declare them one of the best in France.TagLine Kings of Pastry 16 Chefs, 3 Days, 1 Chance
