Reviews for Like Water for Chocolate
The food scenes in this Mexican fable are just as sumptuous and appetizing as those in Denmark's Oscar-winning Babette's Feast, excpet they have an extra-erotic and surreal appeal due to masterful cinematography by Emmanuel Lubezki and Steve Bernstein
A funny, touching, sumptuous, and incredibly romantic ode to the joys of love and food.
Celebrates in most unsual and impressive ways both the magic and the mystery of love.
