Daniel Kaluuya has cooked up a major new production in the form of ‘The Kitchen.’
Stepping behind the camera, the Oscar winner takes on the directorial helm of the hotly anticipated film alongside Kibwe Tavares.
Led by Kane Robinson (Kano), ‘The Kitchen’ is a story set in a dystopian London and centers on community, inequality, family, class, joy, resilience, and more. It’s narratively anchored in the seismically stretched gap between rich and poor. Social housing has been wiped out and all that remains is… The Kitchen. A hub of sorts and one that inhabitants refuse to move out of.
Viewers will follow Izi, who lives there by necessity and is desperately angling for a way out, and 12-year-old Benji, who is seeking family after losing his mother. Together, they’re tasked with navigating a complex situation and establishing a bond.
Ahead of its premiere in January, check out the first-look trailer below…
‘The Kitchen’ is set to be released in select UK cinemas from January 12. It lands on Netflix on January 19.
We’ll be watching. Will you?
