The Menu looks as good as Slowik’s food is supposed to taste. Peter Deming’s (Lost Highway) dreamy cinematography of the idyllic island makes it look incredibly appealing before events take a turn, but even when dinner starts to go array, the surroundings never mirror the horror. Ethan Tobman’s (Pam & Tommy) production design immediately sets the tone, the front of the house is a sleek luxury, but behind-the-scenes is a different story.
What is The Menu about? The Menu is a critique of classism within cultures. In the film, it’s directly applied to the culinary world, pitting a $1250 multi-course dining experience against a $9.95 burger. What does the consumer prefer? What does the chef prefer? But the message extends to other arenas. The movie industry comes to mind.
