So, 'Salmon' is this intriguing drama that dives deep into the intense world of a Michelin kitchen. The protagonist, August, is a young chef with aspirations that clash against the demanding and often brutal expectations set by his eccentric head chef. The film's tone oscillates between the pressures of culinary perfection and personal turmoil, creating an almost suffocating atmosphere. Pacing feels deliberate, almost like a simmering pot, as August grapples with his own high standards and the chaos around him. The performances are raw, capturing both ambition and vulnerability in a way that feels very authentic. It’s got this gritty realism, with some practical effects in the kitchen that really draw you into that high-stakes environment. Not a fluff piece, that's for sure.
