The soundtrack for The Kitchen might be an early contender for one of the year’s best.
Directed by Daniel Kaluuya and Kibwe Tavares, the sci-fi drama follows the lives of Izi (Kane ‘Kano‘ Robinson) and Benji (Jedaiah Bannerman) in a dystopian future London where social housing has been shut down. The community of the Kitchen, however, refuse to abandon their home.
Other cast members include Hope Ikpoku Jr, Teija Kabs, Demmy Ladipo, Cristale, BackRoad Gee, Rasaq Kukoyi and former footballer Ian Wright in the role of Lord Kitchener.
After a short run in cinemas, the film was released on Netflix on January 19, 2024.
