Jan 15, 2019THE CAKEMAKER (3 1/2 Stars) This surprisingly beautiful, subtle film is perhaps the best movie ever made that has the worst poster EVER MADE! I mean seriously, who thought the Dime Store Novel approach would adequately represent such a warm, cinematic experience. The tale follows a German pastry chef who falls in love with a married Israeli man, who dies, launching an obsessive journey for our titular character. He travels to Israel and ends up working for the widow of his dead boyfriend. It takes some unexpected turns, features very little dialogue to visually convey the different ways grief plays out on loved ones. It's tender, sweet, heartbreaking and perfectly acted. It doesn't hurt that it's also dessert porn heaven.
