This is... my favourite movie

This week's topic was a hard one, but every time I thought about the movies I love, there was one that always came up. Like Water for Chocolate. It's a story about a passionate love and desire denied. It's a story of food and talented cook who expresses herself through her cooking, so much so that everyone that consumes her creations is also consumed by her emotions.



I have the book (back in Australia) as well. Each chapter begins with a recipe, food that I long to cook one day.

Here's a bit of a taste (pardon the pun) of the movie in its original Spanish. A bit of a warning, vegetarians may not want to watch parts of this...

I've always had the benefit of subtitles when viewing it, but couldn't find any on Youtube, but you can see the same scene dubbed in English, this time a little longer and with nudity here.

I really do miss being able to watch foreign films, I can't get the English subtitles at the movies and on DVDs here. I'll be feasting on them when I return to Australia.

Another couple of my favourites are Amelie (and oh how I want her hair!)....



... and Delicatessen
