The stakes are clear when documentarian Franck Ribi\u00e8re and preeminent Parisien butcher Yves-Marie Le Bourdonnec set off on a journey around the world to reveal what it takes to make the cut in the evolving marketplace of ultra high-end beef. Our two bons vivants visit the newest players in the industry, from Argentina to the famous Kobe ranches in Japan \u2013 where cattle are massaged in Saki to the soothing sounds of classical music \u2013 ranking their steakhouse Top Ten as they go. This engrossing and unapologetic search for the meat-eater\u2019s holy grail fills the screen with enough sizzling porterhouse porn to leave herbivores weak at the knees. But Ribi\u00e8re, whose family raises prized Charolais cattle, is careful to remind us what it takes to manage livestock responsibly in the age of mass food production, and to show that those world-class cuts are not only the result of highly passionate chefs, but also the most humane ranching practices.<\/p>\n

Writer\/director\u00a0Franck Ribi\u00e8re<\/strong>\u00a0began his film career producing documentaries. After leading a film subsidiary of Hachette Filipacchi Medias, Ribi\u00e8re partnered with writer\/producer V\u00e9rane Fr\u00e9diani to create La Fabrique de Films and Ferme Productions to distribute and produce feature films. They established a reputation in the horror genre producing pictures such as\u00a0Inside<\/em>\u00a0(2007), and\u00a0Witching & Bitching<\/em>\u00a0(2013). This is Ribi\u00e8re\u2019s first feature length film as a director. A companion book has been published in conjunction with the documentary\u2019s French release,\u00a0Steak (r)\u00e9volution: A la recherche du meilleur steack du monde<\/em>, co-written by Ribi\u00e8re and V\u00e9rane Fr\u00e9diani.<\/p>\n
