Kitchen in Paris

Kitchen in Paris (2014) is a Russian comedy you can watch online on iFILM. A big-screen spin-off of the hit TV series Kitchen, it sends the staff of a fashionable Moscow restaurant abroad after they wreck a state dinner between the Russian and French presidents.

Trying to save face, head chef Viktor Barinov (Dmitriy Nazarov) drags his team to Paris, where he runs into a rival from his own family while waiter Max (Mark Bogatyryov) watches a charming Frenchman circle his fiancée Vika. Director Dmitriy Dyachenko keeps the sitcom rhythm intact — kitchen chaos, shouted arguments and romance between the burners — and fills out the cast with Dmitriy Nagiyev, Oleg Tabakov and Vincent Perez. It became one of the bigger Russian box-office comedies of its year. Light, familiar fun for fans of the show. Stream Kitchen in Paris online on iFILM.
