The Hundred-Foot Journey
|
"Director Lasse Hallström started out with dessert 14 years ago and has now gone on to the main course in this delectable new romantic comedy about food wars."
"... dishes out a mostly flavourful blend of comedy and drama, with a dash of poignancy." "Linus Sandgren's camera caresses the cuisine like an ecstatic lover." |
In "The Hundred-Foot Journey", Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France. Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant - the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, the Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin-starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Academy Award-winner Helen Mirren), |
gets wind of it. Her icy protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own, escalate to all out war between the two establishments - until Hassan's passion for French haute cuisine and for Mme Mallory's enchanting sous chef, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon), combine with his mysteriously delicious talent to weave magic between their two cultures and imbue Saint-Antonin with the flavours of life that even Mme Mallory cannot ignore. At first Mme Mallory's culinary rival, she eventually recognizes Hassan's gift as a chef and takes him under her wing. |
