Director Mark Mylod and producer Betsy Koch joined TheWrap and Shutterstock’s Interview and Portrait Studio at the Toronto International Film Festival to discuss their new film “The Menu,” a dark, bloody satire of the one percent and the restaurants that cater to them.
The film stars Ralph Fiennes as the pretentious, craft-obsessed head chef at an exclusive restaurant on a remote island. Nicholas Hoult and Anya Taylor-Joy play a foodie and his very skeptical girlfriend who pay $2,500 to attend an exclusive dinner on this island, but soon find themselves ensnared in the dark secret behind this restaurant that slowly reveals itself with each passing course.
