| Synopsis
From the award-winning director of Page One: Inside The New York Times & Eat This New York Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven is an intimate portrait of Le Cirque founder Sirio Maccioni and his three sons – Mauro, Marco and Mario – to whom he will one day leave his formidable cultural and culinary legacy. Director Andrew Rossi not only gains unbelievable access to the larger-than-life Maccioni family but also catches the family at a dramatic transition: the closing of Le Cirque in 2004, its celebrated re-opening two years later followed by the nerve-wracking wait for New York’s restaurant critics to weigh in on their new incarnation. Not only is Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven a must-see for anyone who is passionate about food and dining, but it shows us a family embroiled in the age-old struggle between fathers, sons, tradition and change - which, for the family behind Le Cirque, means the fate of one of New York’s most treasured institutions hangs in the balance. Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven is a fascinating portrait of a family business caught in the world’s spotlight. What the Critics are Saying "Terrific access! Maccioni is a delight to watch. It makes for great theater." - The New York Times "Brilliant!" - Liz Smith " "Wonderful! Appealing to every taste." - San Francisco Chronicle "Glorious!" - Orlando Sentinel "Buoyant, affectionate… An Italian-American family comedy in the form of a documentary about a restaurant." - Los Angeles Times Recommended Reading Sirio: The Story of My Life and Le Cirque Features and Specifications Special Features:
