Absorbing, inspiring and (at times) amusing. I heard it was good. I was not expecting it be quite so compelling, considering it is about Sushi.I was hoping for a very passionate story about Sushi, but it's more like a news report. A must for all foodies .

Incredible insight into the painstaking training and commitment of a Michelin starred chef. Beautiful film, it stayed with me years after first watching it. View More In Documentary JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI is the story of 85-year-old Jiro Ono, considered by many to be the world’s greatest sushi chef. He is the proprietor of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant inauspiciously located in a Tokyo subway station. Despite its humble appearances, it is the first restaurant of its kind to be awarded a prestigious three-star Michelin Guide rating, and sushi lovers from around the globe make repeated pilgrimage, calling months in advance and shelling out top dollar for a coveted seat at Jiro’s sushi bar. Rotten Tomatoes Movie Reviews Fresh: It's torture to watch Jiro Dreams of Sushi -- if you are on an empty stomach. Fresh: I really wish Tokyo were closer. Fresh: Would you be willing to massage an octopus for 45 minutes, until its flesh possesses just the right amount of chewability?

Fresh: As exhausting as Jiro may be, he's also inspiring. Read More About This Movie On Rotten Tomatoes My wife and I drove 150 miles round trip to see this movie. An absolute joy and feast for the eyes. Only problem was that we could not eat sushi for several weeks thereafter. Jiro's sushi was just too strong in our memory to violate with any run of the mill variant. This is a great film! This movie isn't really about sushi and people that make it. sushi in brussel centrumIt is about what one can achieve with a certain mindset. menu sushi club strasbourgFrom extreme poverty to the world's most renown sushi chef, Jiro dedicates his life to perfection. sushi roll maker indonesia The food looks great, and what we learn about Jiro and his family is interesting -- but not interesting enough to fill an hour and 22 minutes. menu sushi club strasbourg

The filmmakers, it seems, wanted desperately to have a feature-length film but didn't manage to find enough material of interest; as a result, the film starts getting repetitive after about 50 minutes or so. At the same time, the film leaves you with unanswered questions: It begins to explore the biography of Jiro and his two sons, but women are entirely absent from the story -- we hear about Jiro's father, but nothing about his mother or his wife, or if the sons have families of their own who might lead the restaurants for a third generation. The film talks about the long history of sushi, but there, too, it could've provided more information. Instead, we get a great deal of testimony about Jiro's dedication and high standards, again and again and again. When embarking on a project like this, foremost in the director's mind should be the question of how he's going to avoid making a film that comes off as one long advertisement for Jiro's restaurant. But David Gelb, the director, has not come up with an adequate answer.

Just as the long, cosy nights of autumn and winter are the seasonal home for flagship dramas such as Downton Abbey and Line of Duty, so our summers are plagued with televisual mishaps and tired repeats. Glance at this week’s schedules and you’ll see what I mean. The Great British Bake Off notwithstanding, this is arguably the worst seven days of television in living memory. On Friday, for instance, the only new programme of note is Mountain Goats, a BBC comedy so broad and derivative it makes Mrs Brown’s Boys seem like The Trip.

But that is nothing compared to tonight’s “highlights” – a dire procession of game-show banality (Keep it in the Family, The Cube), pedestrian drama (Casualty) and humdrum repeats (Walking Through History). Thankfully, this no longer matters. On demand TV services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime have given frustrated viewers an escape route. Now you can flee scheduled television in the dog days of summer and take your pick of the best programmes of the last 40 years. The only difficulty is the dizzying choice, which is why we’ve picked out 25 of the best shows available on demand to get you through to September. 1. The Thin Blue Line (Netflix) Errol Morris’s dramatic true-crime reconstruction about a 1976 miscarriage of justice in Texas changed not only the verdict of the case, but also how many documentaries are filmed. It’s weird, stylised and provocative. 2. Jiro Dreams of Sushi (Netflix) Part paean to the Japanese dish, part meditation on the pursuit of perfection, this exquisite film tells the story of 86-year-old Jiro Ono, owner of a 10-seater sushi bar in the basement of a Tokyo office block, and one of the most famous chefs in East Asia.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi, Netflix 3. David Attenbrough – the Early Years (BBC iPlayer) Delve into the BBC’s archives to watch a fresh-faced David Attenborough in the fascinating Fifties series Zoo Quest. His trip to Kenya to meet Elsa the lioness, shortly before her death, will melt the flintiest of hearts. Watch David Attenbrough – the Early Years on BBC Four collections 4. Dark Days (Netflix) A stark, black-and-white portrait of a homeless community living in disused underground tunnels in New York, Marc Singer’s film is a poignant, powerful and haunting account. 5. Paris Is Burning (YouTube) Jennie Livingstone’s tribute to the Harlem Drag Ball scene of the 1980s offers a rich and insightful slice of a heady world of high camp and even higher heels. Watch Paris is Burning on YouTube Drama 1. Breaking Bad (Netflix) Vince Gilligan’s bleak, unpredictable drama about a chemistry teacher turned crystal meth dealer is an award-winning masterpiece. Its spin-off, Better Call Saul, is pretty good too.

2. Orange Is the New Black (Netflix) Jenji Kohan’s tightly written drama makes US prison life feel remarkably real, thanks to its exceptional, predominantly female cast. Taylor Schilling plays Piper Chapman, and captures her transformation from naive inmate to stoic ringleader perfectly. 3. House of Cards (Netflix) The first original Netflix series, this is a polished Washington-set update of the Nineties BBC drama about a Machiavellian politician in pursuit of power. Kevin Spacey’s dastardly Frank Underwood is the highlight. 4. Freaks and Geeks (Amazon Prime) Director Judd Apatow (also of Bridesmaids and Trainwreck) was the executive producer of this cult comedy drama about a gaggle of misfits at an 80s US high school. It also helped launch the careers of Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jason Segel. 5. Bloodline (Netflix) This tense, tortuous tale of a well-to-do Florida family slowly imploding is conventionally told but searing performances from Ben Mendelsohn, Sissy Spacek and Kyle Chandler make it increasingly addictive to watch.

Arrested Development (Netflix) Arrested Development is one of the finest sitcoms ever made, laced with intricate, quick-fire jokes; it’s an ingenious, cartoonish snapshot of a spectacularly dysfunctional Californian family. 2. Archer (Netflix) A cross between a workplace comedy and a 007 spoof, this sardonic animation follows the narcissistic, womanising secret agent Sterling Archer as he fights off (and insults) terrorists in increasingly inventive ways. 3. Community (Netflix & Yahoo) This ensemble US sitcom about an unlikely set of classmates at a Colorado community college has never quite taken off in the UK. More fool us because it’s sharp and clever, with a cracking, self-deprecating turn from Chevy Chase. 4. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Netflix) Child molestation, abortion, racism, homophobia: no topic is taboo in this hilarious and subversive US comedy about four morally reprehensible friends who run a dingy pub in Philadelphia. Danny DeVito stars in season two. 5. Transparent (Amazon Prime) The Golden Globe-winning series stars Jeffrey Tambor as a divorced LA father who decides to tell his self-obsessed grown-up children that he wants to come out as being transgender.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (YouTube) This adaptation of John le Carré’s masterpiece was filmed at the height of the Cold War and thrums with a very English sort of paranoia. Alec Guinness is superb as seemingly diffident masterspy George Smiley. Watch Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy on YouTube 2. I, Claudius (YouTube) This faux-autobiographical retrospective of the life of the Roman Emperor Claudius is one of the best TV dramas of the 20th century, influencing everything from Game of Thrones to The Sopranos. Watch I, Claudius on YouTube 3. Spaced (Channel 4oD) Flouting every sitcom convention, the very funny Spaced marked the arrival of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as a creative force, with its knowing humour, obscure pop culture references and zany gags. 4. Pride and Prejudice (Netflix) Colin Firth’s dashing Mr Darcy emerging from a lake in a dripping wet shirt must surely have helped this lavish and witty adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel win a place in the pantheon of great BBC costume dramas.

5. House of Cards (BBC/Netflix) The original House of Cards, about conniving British MP Francis Urquhart, is even more cynical than Netflix’s update, and funnier too, with Ian Richardson deliciously dark in the lead role. The next big thing? 1. Jeremy Clarkson’s new project (Amazon Prime) The former Top Gear triumvirate of Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond will reunite next year for a new 12-episode series, exclusive to Amazon. They’ve been given free rein to do what they want to do – and probably a lot more money. 2. Narcos (Netflix) Netflix’s thrilling 10-part drama sets the rise of Pablo Escobar from small-time Colombian hood to the world’s most powerful cocaine trafficker against the covert American attempts to stop him. 3. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Netflix) This sparky comedy from Tina Fey – about a woman who moves to New York after escaping from a doomsday cult – is made with such positivity and heart it could prove as popular as Fey’s 30 Rock. 4. Woody Allen project (Amazon Prime) Having signed up to make a six-part TV show for Amazon Prime, Woody Allen admitted at the Cannes Film Festival that he was “struggling with it”, which has only added to the intrigue.
