Jiro Dreams of Sushi


Jiro Dreams of Sushi is beautiful. The music, the cinematography, the editing, the man himself and, of course, his infamous sushi are all aesthetically wonderful.
            As virtuosic piano concertos play in the background, the audience is introduced to Jiro Ono, an 85-year-old sushi master who has perfected the art in his small restaurant nestled in a Tokyo subway station.
            Ono lets the cameras into his back kitchens and provides insight to the rigorous training process that is required of all of his cooking staff, who are humble, charming gentlemen themselves. They truly love what they do, and I love this film.
