Victoria Film Festival 2008

Well Done takes you into the world of two Montreal restaurant kings: Normand Laprise, owner of the restaurant Toqué!, and Martin Picard, owner of the hottest restaurant Pied de Cochon.

While accompanying these two stars on their culinary journeys in Quebec, Hong Kong, Lyon and Spain you’ll feel like an intimate of these passionate, explosive men who border on madness and creative excess, all of which is captured in Guillaume Sylvestre’s first documentary.

The film depicts a very demanding job. Chefs often sleep very little, working day and night while managing a high level of stress. Playtime is fueled with the partying and seemingly never ending drinking.

The authenticity, openness and transparency of Martin Picard is compelling. Norman Laprise integrates the wisdom he has gained into his work ethic and is very inspiring.

Finally a documentary that is true without being pessimistic. A treat for all food lovers!
