Co-directed by Campbell Scott and Stanley Tucci, this sumptuous classic has long been considered “one of the great food movies” (Roger Ebert).

Big Night focuses on the volatile relationship between two immigrant restaurateurs, the uncompromising chef Primo (Tony Shalhoub) and his younger sibling, Secondo (Stanley Tucci), who runs the dining room and is trying desperately to keep the business afloat. Their hopes are pinned on a favor from the owner of the nearby Pascal’s, an enormously successful restaurant, despite its mediocre fare – he will call his friend, a big-time jazz musician, to play a special benefit at Paradise. Primo begins to prepare his masterpiece, a feast of a lifetime, for the brothers’ big night…
