Mrs Birks’ Sunday Roast バークス夫人の日曜日
UK (2009) Documentary 6 minutes
New Pathways Film Fund (Film London).
A Japanese food writer embarks on her quest to cook the perfect Sunday roast. Her gravy evokes a taste of home both gently Japanese and quintessentially English. Blending her passion for British food with the memories that accompany each dish, it is a labour of love with all the trimmings.
The film has been added to the British Film Institute National Archive Collection in 2010. It enjoyed a successful 2-week run at the IFC Center in NYC in 2011.
