GREAT Documentary
I saw this Documentary on a streaming service one time and they removed it. Once I saw the dvd being sold online, I immediately bought it. It features how a legendary chef runs this highly exclusive and creative restaurant. Thats all I wanna say about the documentary without running the experience of watching it for yourself. I recommend this film for all foodies and non foodies alike.

so-so
I am a serious foodie and I read a lot of food literature, and try to see a lot of food movies. One terrific foodie movie is about the Japanese sushi chef Jiro. This documentary on El Bulli - to be honest, was boring because it really had no narrative structure. I don't know much about the chef, his story, the story of the restaurant. In fact, that is what this really lacks - a good story. It shows what goes on in the kitchen, some interesting stuff about how they think about their menus or what they try to do to remain creative. I guess the idea is to pretend that we are there like a fly on the wall, but unlike the fly, I need some focus. Not worth watching in my opinion, but I have always wanted to eat at the restaurant just for the experience but I believe it is now closed. Instead see "Kings of Pastry", "Jiro" or the documentary on the Bocus D'or (so interesting).

Not What You Expected
If you are a real foodie, chef, and someone involved in the business of food you might like this. If you are expecting a Gordon Ramsey or Bourdain style documentary then you will be disappointed. You will not learn how to cook any of what legendary chef, Ferran Adrià, makes at the now retired El Bulli restaurant. The documentary starts with the closing of his restaurant for the season then turns into a dialogue between chefs on the creativity and science of the creation of new dishes. You are like a fly on the wall. Jose Andres operates arguably the most advanced kitchen in the world, very interesting to see how everything comes together, but this film won't be for everyone

great insight into the mind of a culinary genious
This dvd offers amazing insight into the creative process of Ferran Adria. I was first introduced to his work through watching Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations episode in season 7. This video is not so much about recipes as it is about ideology and technique. Very inspiring and makes you want to create. This illustrates the difference between a cook and an innovative forward thinking chef. Uber respect for Ferran and his process!

Details you might snooze thru.
Proved to me that, even as a scientist, I do not have the patience to perfect a dish like is shown in this documentary. Amazing! Not exactly like those two silly guys who visit lots of restaurants and just say Yum. Details details details. OMG. Can you stand to see such details??

Excellent! (The side Bordain didn't show)
This film shows a really interesting side of El Bulli which I haven't actually seen elsewhere: the off-season. The restaurant closes for half the year and the chefs retreat to the lab in Barcelona. The film shows the experimentation and the creative process. Overall, the film was very enjoyable.

A RARE CHANCE TO SHARE THE MAGIC
This rare glimpse into the magical place which was the World's Greatest Restaurant.Coupled with the DVD, DECODING FERRAN ADRIA by Anthony Bourdain and Chef Adria's own books, especially THE FAMILY MEAL, each of us, gets a chance to see a little of what a culinary and gastronomic revolution looks like.Because El Bulli has closed in order to evolve as a Foundation of creativity and gastronomy which the world's chefs can share, this beautiful DVD has become a treasure and testament illustrating what a magical place which El Bulli was.

Muy interesante
Esta película muestra cómo funcionaba el Bulli por dentro, y para los que nos apasiona el arte de la cocina, es sumamente interesante. No sirve para aprender a cocinar, simplemente para emocionarse por la inventiva y talento del equipo del Bulli.

貴重な映像!?
今はもう食事をする事ができない「ElBulli」世界一予約が取れないレストランとして超有名だったお店ですがそのキッチンでの調理の様子や新作メニューの創作の様子がリアルにみられてとても貴重なDVDです。スペイン語に英語の字幕付きなのでスペイン語が分からなくても映像をみてれば理解できると思います。料理に興味のある方料理人の方見ているだけでも楽しい映像です。
