Péter Kerekes collected their stories from all over Europe to take us behind the scenes of dates, facts, declarations of war, battles, and peace agreements. The recollections of those who witnessed the European wars of the 20th century provide subjective perspectives on historical events that diverge from conventional history. In separate episodes addressing WWII, the Franco-Algerian war, the Soviet invasion of Hungary, the war in Chechnya, and the Balkan bloodbaths, Kerekes lets his subjects hold forth in monologues, prompted by his off-camera questions. Through their subjective recollections, food preparation becomes a metaphor for battle strategy. Cooking History opens up a dimension of history one won’t find in textbooks or archives. The directness of the anecdotes and destinies of the people in this film conveys a sense of hope, longing, and survival strategies in the midst of destruction and despair. 580 Verzio Film Festival Submission 655 Documentary films 942 |2ddc |cDVD-ROM 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_1692_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9155660FL |bFL |d2022-01-11 |l0 |oFL Record 1692 |r2022-01-11 |w2022-01-11 |yDVD-ROM |cAudio Visual 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_1692_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9155662FL |bFL |d2022-01-11 |oFL Record 1692 |pHU_OSA_00003316.mp4 |r2022-01-11 |w2022-01-11 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 QorZ0poG 966 True |bHU_OSA_00003316 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
