#1: Jiro Dreams of Sushi
You’d think this documentary about an obsessive sushi chef couldn’t possibly be real, but Jiro Ono is absolutely genuine. At 94 years old, he still works his Michelin three-star restaurant in Tokyo with meticulous precision, sourcing the same tuna supplier for decades. His refusal to innovate and relentless pursuit of perfection in every grain of rice feels like a character study, yet it’s a faithful portrait of one man’s lifelong devotion to his craft.
