  The Inventing Cuisine series proposes documentary portraits films of some uncommon artists: great French chefs whom keep on inventing and re-inventing today's cuisine. Beyond their style differences this series makes us a privileged witness to their art. An art that does way more than just to look at the world it eats it all up! Marseille inhabits G''rald Pass''dat and Paul Lacoste's film shows this with affection and humour. He captures the way the chef considers the sea to be his personal vegetable patch growing out in front of his restaurant - and the way he snaps up everything it has to offer. Few other Mediterranean chefs exhibit such curiosity for the ocean's treasures. There's also the city's passion for elsewhere which G''rald Pass''dat has integrated into his culinary art. Likewise the lightness - the marine fluidity - that we find in his dishes... and then the rigor as well like an echo of Marseille which we always think of as fanciful but can fall prey to the Mistral too.
