A ninety-minute Buddhist retreat under the spiritual guidance of chef Edward Espe Brown, author of "the Bible of bread making." Or in other words: the dharma made palatable, even delectable. The focal point of German filmmaker Doris Dörrie (Enlightenment Guaranteed) ripples outward from personal matters like anger and confusion to larger cultural matters like wealth and waste, the homeless, and organic farming. Essentially it's a lecture film, but well photographed and sensitively edited, and it has a complex, charismatic central character and an unexpected emotional climax when he gets your attention by squeezing out a couple of tears before you have any idea why.
