Like Water for Chocolate description Expect to be very hungry (and perhaps amorous) after watching this contemporary classic in the small genre of food movies that includes Babette's Feast and Big Night. Director Alfonso Arau (A Walk in the Clouds), 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. --Tom Keogh |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Breathtaking !!!!!! |
| One of my all time favorite movies. Beautiful photography, wonderfully written. A passionate romance between two people forbidden to be together. Regina Tome is superb using her cooking to symbolize the passion she is forbidden. A circa foreign film in English subtitles. One must watch this movie to appreciated it. | |
