When making a documentary about food, how do you express the two most central senses to the experience that film fails to capture: taste and scent? Without Smell-o-Vision or another gimmicky technology, you’re left largely with the visual, and first-time feature director Pierre Deschamps relies heavily on beautiful cinematography for “Noma: My Perfect Storm.” Though having el Bulli’s Ferran Adriå appear to compliment your subject’s food doesn’t hurt either. The documentary centers on chef René Redzepi and his acclaimed Copenhagen restaurant Noma, which has jockeyed for the title of top restaurant in the world over the last few years. Deschamps and his camera capture the vivid color and texture of each dish at Noma, showcasing bright greens and deep purples. Each image is crisp. Close-ups and slow motion expose the care paid to each detail of every plate, while fast motion expresses the frenetic energy of the kitchen during service.

Magnolia Pictures has secured North American rights to food documentary "Noma — My Perfect Storm," which chronicles the life (and restaurant) of chef René Redzepi.

(Check out Anthony Bourdain's episode on "Noma" on CNN's "Parts Unknown.") Produced by Documentree Films Ltd. and directed by Pierre Deschamps ("Rugby: The Life of New Zealand"), the film is partly inspired by two books written by Redzepi: "Noma: Time and Place in Nordic Cuisine," and "René Redzepi: A Work in Progress." Filmmaker Pierre Deschamps spent more than three years at Noma following the eccentric chef, where he learned about the reinvention of Danish cuisine through a process known as "foraging" — a pioneered approach which requires sourcing...
