5. Thursday, April 12- Soul Kitchen

Acclaimed director Fatih Akin’s latest film is a deliciously overstuffed comedy that follows Zinos, the owner of a no-frills pub in Hamburg called Soul Kitchen. Zinos juggles a working class clientele alienated by his new gourmet chef, a larcenous brother, tax inspectors, health officers, and real-estate sharks. His biggest concern, aside from pleasing palates, is mending the broken heart he was left with when his girlfriend moved to Shanghai. [Fatih Akin, 2009, Germany, 99 min.]
