Awared with Special Jury Award in Venice Film Vestival "Soul Kitchen" is one of the best Faith Akin movies (2nd best after "Gegen die Wand" in my book) and an excellent mixture of comedy and drama. The German/Turkish well known director features in Soul Kitchen a story filmed in Hamburg with a strong Greek element. The film depicts excellently life in Hamburg (which is one of the most different and great German cities) in a story that unlike most of Faith Akin's films is not too sad and is in fact quite funny. Moritz Bleibtreu is as always a safe and good choice and in few words this film will probably (if you have some sense of humor) leave you with a big smile in your face.

Grade: A-
