Wesker

This black-and-white adaptation of Arnold Wesker’s “The Kitchen” confronts how capitalism ensures the American Dream goes forever unfulfilled for many.

Directed by Mexican director Alonso Ruizpalacios, who adapted Arnold Wesker’s 1957 play “The Kitchen,” the film is a blast of furious energy that also knows when to let up, with a few moments of gentle lyricism as punctuation.

Directed by Alonso Ruizpalacios and co-starring Raúl Briones, the indie — based on a 1957 Arnold Wesker play — takes place in a busy Times Square restaurant.

The same mechanical monster taunts the staff at the Grill, the fictional Times Square restaurant at the center of Mexican writer-director Alonso Ruizpalacios’ “La Cocina,” a black-and-white reimagining of British author Arnold Wesker’s 1957 play “The Kitchen.”

The actor lent his voice to the “Destiny” game franchise and recently starred as “Resident Evil” villain Albert Wesker in a Netflix series based on the beloved zombie game franchise.
