Mostly Martha (2002)

German Dramady - Obsessive female chef (Martha) loves food more than people. When her sister dies and leaves her with a niece to take care of, she fights through her shyness and emotional coldness to be motherly. Meanwhile, at the restaurant where she works the owner hires an assistant chef that riles her competitiveness. Lots of character development here, an absorbing story, fine acting, and lovely photography. Despite the subtitles I really enjoyed this film. 1 hour 47 min
