Review of Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011) by Nick P — 04 Jan 2013

The portray of Jiro sensei and his (actually, his group)'s superb art of sushi making is sincere, calm (in comparing with the determination of such "shokunin" like Jiro sensei) but no less intriguing (especially on the quest of creating good sushi).

However the underlined message is somehow confusing and the focus is not as clear as the title. Still, the documentary is really interesting to watch and deserves compliment for being able to translate the uttermost calmness of sushi, and Japanese people, to the world through the simple but beautiful cinematic language.
