La cocina (Spanish for 'The Kitchen') is a 2024 drama film written and directed by Alonso Ruizpalacios. The film is based on the 1957 stage play The Kitchen by Arnold Wesker, which was already adapted to the 1961 film "The Kitchen".[4]. However, while in the play and the earlier film the kitchen staff were continental European immigrants, in the present film they are mostly Latin Americans with some Arabs.
The film stars Raúl Briones Carmona, Rooney Mara, Anna Diaz, Motell Foster, Oded Fehr, Eduardo Olmos and Spenser Granese.
It had its world premiere at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival on February 16, 2024, and was released in the United States on October 25, 2024, by Willa.
