How the Film Relates to Music
Description
The film really focuses on how Jiro's workplace and his methods are comparable to music. There is even one section of the movie that focuses on how his courses are designed like a three movement concerto. While music is considered liberating, the music and musical comparisons in the film demonstrate the restriction and limitations of Sukiyabashi Jiro (the restaurant).
