MOSTLY MARTHA Screens September 14th at Webster University
“It’s your restaurant, but her kitchen. Without her, it’s just a pile of metal. It’s for her to decide.”
MOSTLY MARTHA (aka BELLA MARTHA – German – 2001) screens Thursday September 14th at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium (470 East Lockwood). The movie starts at 7:30pm.
Martha Klein (Martina Gedeck), a workaholic chef, has difficulty relating to the world other than through food. Her obsession leads to unpleasant confrontations with customers. Frida (Sibylle Canonica), the restaurant owner, requires her to see a therapist to work out her poor interpersonal skills. Martha’s therapy sessions, however, turn into monologues on food, and her approach to stress management usually involves briefly retreating to the restaurant’s walk-in refrigerator. Martha’s life and priorities change when her sister dies and she takes on the responsibility of caring for her niece.
