Here's a promo clip from the movie...
'LA CUCINA' (Italian for 'The Kitchen') is an hour and a half long, and there will be a Q&A with the writer and director following this festival screening. From this clip it seems like the film was poorly lit. Haven't seen it yet so I can't truly judge, but it would be a shame if it turns out that the film never made it past the festival circuit just because they hired a rookie director of photography.
I'm sure Leisha chose this role partly because it's so not 'Alice'.
The movie revolves around the preparation of four different meals, and Leisha's character 'Shelly' is linked to two of them. First, she's valiantly trying to make a lasagne while her husband looks on. He decides to order a pizza instead, which upsets pregnant Shelly so she heads out the door and up the stairs to her friend (R.Hunter) Jude’s place. There she finds Jude painstakingly making an Italian feast for her lover Celia, who apparently doesn't appreciate her efforts, either.
