While their sons’ identities have not yet been discovered and may never be, their parents must now decide what action to take. While Stan and Paul have been estranged since childhood, their 16-year-old sons are friends, and the two of them have committed a horrible crime that has shocked the country. When Stan Lohman (Richard Gere), a popular congressman running for governor, invites his troubled younger brother Paul (Steve Coogan) and his wife Claire (Laura Linney) to join him and his wife Katelyn (Rebecca Hall) for dinner at one of the town’s most fashionable restaurants, the stage is set for a tense night. Directed by Oren Moverman, this is a dark psychological thriller that features a fierce showdown between two couples during the course of an ornately prepared meal at a fancy restaurant. It is based on Herman Koch’s international bestselling novel The Dinner. Jae Song and Paul Yee were the brains behind the food creations of the meal for the film. “It is like serving 50 people when in reality there are 12,” chef Jae Song told Food and Wine Gazette about the experience of creating a meal for the film The Dinner which is being released next month. While in a restaurant you have to work with one dish at a time, for a movie there need to be a series of dishes that are exactly the same and which are served in rapid succession as a scene is shot repeatedly. It is not often that a chef has to create a menu for an important dinner where the focus is not the taste but rather the visual aspect and the consistency.
Enoki nest and yolk – the main dish served during The Dinner.
