Grand Fugue on the Art of Gumbo
A short documentary that uses actor/author/artist/creator/chef Eugene Walter's own radio broadcasts as narration, and takes a peek at the simple ingredients that make up the Gulf Coast and its signature cuisine, gumbo. The film shows how their staggered repetition builds something wholly unique and intricately beautiful.
