ARROW FILM DISTRIBUTORS LTD. Like Water For Chocolate [1992]
Expect to be very hungry (and perhaps amorous) after watching this contemporary classic in the small genre of food movies that includes <I>Babette's Feast</I> and <I>Big Night</I>. Director Alfonso Arau (<I>A Walk in the Clouds</I>), adapting a novel by his former wife, Laura Esquivel, tells the story of a young woman (Lumi Cavazos) who learns to suppress her passions under the eye of a stern mother, but channels them into her cooking. The result is a steady stream of cuisine so delicious as to be an almost erotic experience for those lucky enough to have a bite. The film's quotient of magic realism feels a little stock, but the story line is good and Arau's affinity for the sensuality of food (and of nature) is sublime. You might want to rush off to a good Mexican restaurant afterward, but that's a good thing. --<I>Tom Keogh, Amazon.com</I>
