Kurzbeschreibung
Ein altes Haus, irgendwo auf dem Land im Norden Amerikas. Ein Mann steht in der Küche und trifft seine Vorbereitungen um zu kochen. Bernard Glassman, einer der bekanntesten Zen-Meister Amerikas, lehrt anhand der Zubereitung wohlschmeckender Mahlzeiten die Kunst ein gelungenes Leben zu führen. Szenenwechsel: Yonkers, eine Vorstadt von New York. In einer Großbäckerei arbeiten Menschen, mit denen niemand etwas zutun haben möchte, Obdachlose, Kriminelle, gesellschaftliche Außenseiter. Jeder Mensch hat einen Wert sagt Glassman. In einem umfangreichen Sozialprojekt ermöglichte er zahlreichen von ihnen die Rückkehr in die Gesellschaft und in ein neues Leben. Dem Menschen kann ein sinnvolles Leben gelingen, wenn er seine Talente anerkennt, so wie man auch aus wenigen Zutaten ein gutes Gericht kochen kann lautet eine der Lehren des Zen-Meisters.
Rezension
Christof Wolf s documentary, Instructions to the Cook, may appear at first to be part biography of Zen Master Bernard Glassman and part distillation of Zen Wisdom applied to the ritual of preparing a meal. Wolf, however, interweaves these threads into a wonderful meditation on how to live a life that matters in, and outside of, the kitchen. Wolf captures the lively and profound qualities of Glassman through interview and event footage. As the film unfolds in a series of chapters on how to prepare a meal, the audience is transported from their day-to-day world to Glassman s larger perspective on life. We feel that we are invited at the table to learn how to add the different ingredients of our lives to create a fulfilling existence. Both entertaining and compelling, Instructions to the Cook is a must-see for anyone who is interested in savoring what life has to offer. (Michael Unger, Chair, One-Year Filmmaking Program)
The meaning of life. Not a subject with an easy answer; you're generally either on the right path to it or straying somewhere off it. Bernard Glassman, a former rocket scientist and now American Zen master, seems to have found the peace that comes with knowing the feel for that right road. It's definitely not the easy road, the straight road, or the least challenging, but it appears to promise the most rewards. Based on Glassman's book, Instructions To The Cook: A Zen Master s Lessons in Living a Life that Matters , director Christof Wolf takes us on a journey through Glassman's calm, methodical and inviting take on life, delivered through the metaphor of the meal. It's a journey worth going on. One that can make you reflect on the critical life lesson you could learn by simply opening the refrigerator door; ancient Zen truths made available in your own kitchen. But even more compelling are the characters we meet who have been touched or transformed by Glassman's life, like Batman, the recovered drug addict and New York City garbage man, who communicates a joy, intelligence, and wisdom that blows you away as he fades off screen on the back of an NYC garbage truck. A life that matters is a life worth seeing. (Deiren Masterson, Director, Masterworks Productions)
