The Hundred - foot Journey
Okay, I know in the marketing that The Hundred - footJourneyjust looked like another stupid, sappy Disney film...
but I totally loved it.
it was directed by Lasse Hallstrom so it all these wonderful shots of food and making food like Chocolat. Then, the music was by A.R. Rahman who's always awesome.
Actually, I guess the basic plot is similar to Chocolat as well except Helen Mirren's character comes to the correct way of thinking a lot sooner. However, I did love how it addressed immigration and other cultures making their new country's culture better by their influence and hard work. The film feels a little long at the end so I was able to guess it was adapted from a book.
Also, the lead actor, Manish Dayal, is really attractive. My mom agrees on this point.
P.S. I can't discuss Indian cooking in films without once again suggesting Today's Special, such a good movie.
