Mistura

Ricardo de Montreuil's 2025 Peruvian film is set in Lima in the sixties. A wealthy woman left by her husband decides to open a restaurant. Those who work in the kitchen come from different regions. The film does not conceal her prejudices; the narrative gives the mixture of Peruvian cooking together with the country's divisions of class and race, and builds her change slowly. Bárbara Mori leads. Cooking sequences take wide space. The tone is warm and the period detail careful. Who it's for: those who like Latin American drama and films built around food. Who it's not for: viewers expecting discrimination handled sharply; the film takes a conciliatory path.
