“La Cocina” had its world premiere at the 2024 Berlinale Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its direction and writing from filmmaker Alonso Ruizpalacios and lead performance from Raúl Briones Carmona. The film displays life in a New York City restaurant kitchen where the blend of cultures from around the world clashes with the unfair working conditions and unequal distribution of power and respect. Ruizpalacios was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his experience working on the film. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters in NY from WILLA and will expand to LA on November 1st. Thank you, and enjoy!
