“I attempt to create a dramatic structure drawn from ordinary experience and un-staged, everyday events.”
– Frederick Wiseman
With a groundbreaking career spanning seven decades, Frederick Wiseman is one of the great American storytellers.
Over the coming months, a selection of cinemas will celebrate his career by screening a retrospective of his works, many of which are new digital restorations overseen by Wiseman himself.
On 2 January 2026, Menus-Plaisirs – Les Troisgros (2023), Wiseman’s most recent film, an epic four-hour observation of a family restaurant in rural France that has held three Michelin stars for 55 years over four generations, will open in cinemas in the UK and Ireland.
