I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!! This movie was so good. The *first* lines are about porcinis, chantrelles, truffles...See this movie!! It ranks up there with Tampopo and Big Night. Did I say I loved this film? It *NEVER* should have been remade. It was perfect as it was.
Do yourself a favor, don't watch Chocolat without having some good chocolate to grab part way through the film...you won't be able to stand it if you don't have some! Why not buy a huge block of Valrhona?!
When watching Tampopo, make sure to have Noodles made and ready to eat...or you'll be starving by the end of the film. Get what you need to make a yummy noodle dish here.
Ang Lee on Eat Drink Man Woman:
"I want[ed] to make a movie that makes the audiences saliva just keep drooling
out."
"[There are] Not a lot of movies that use food; it's like watching [a] sex scene...you
get aroused.
Food and Sex: One is to sustain life, one to multiply life. In order to
get the audience's saliva going for the food that is showing on the movie
you have to show the making of the food; the process is really the stimuli
for the taste buds."
