Prepare to embark on a captivating culinary and philosophical journey in Shelf Life, the latest documentary from Tribeca alum Ian Cheney (The Search for General Tso). This quirky and contemplative film takes us on a global odyssey into the world of cheese, drawing unexpected parallels between the aging process of this beloved food and the human experience of growing old. From the passionate cheesemakers in Japan to the knowledgeable mongers in Tbilisi, Cheney introduces us to a colorful cast of characters who share their unique perspectives on decay, dissolution and the art of crafting the perfect cheese.
Beautifully shot and gently paced, Shelf Life offers a sensory delight that will leave you craving a taste of the world's finest cheeses while pondering the more profound questions of life and mortality. Through odd visual meditations and darkly comedic flourishes, Cheney masterfully weaves a charming and haunting narrative, inviting viewers to savor the complexities of aging in all its forms. This delectable documentary is a must-see for food enthusiasts and anyone seeking a fresh, thought-provoking cinematic experience.––Jarod Neece
