Dystyngowana Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren) od lat kieruje cenioną restauracją w niewielkiej miejscowości na południu Francji. Sława jej potraw wykracza daleko poza lokalną społeczność. A przyznana lokalowi prestiżowa gwiazdka w słynnym Przewodniku Michelina napawa dumą wszystkich mieszkańców. Pewnego dnia w miasteczku osiada rodzina emigrantów z Bombaju. Gdy przybysze otwierają skromny lokal vis a vis renomowanej restauracji, Madame Malory nie kryje oburzenia wobec ich kulinarnego nieokrzesania. Unoszące się w powietrzu zmysłowe nuty curry, kardamonu i kminu sprawiają jednak, że nowa knajpka zaczyna cieszyć się coraz większym zainteresowaniem. Czy uwodzicielskie smaki Orientu przekonają do życzliwych Hindusów również kuchenną arystokratkę? (Monolith)

It’s been a long time since I saw such an incredibly enjoyable movie as The Hundred-Foot Journey. From a xenophobic point of view, I have to praise the creators, because everyone here was really charismatic. And especially the Indian family, who didn’t hesitate to move into the house opposite a famous restaurant to open their own establishment there. It was all incredibly relaxing. Starting with the story, through the characters and ending with the filmmaking. And I really didn’t mind that the film was 122 minutes long. I enjoyed every minute and waited for what would come next, because the Indian audacity in that one small French village had taken my breath away. What I didn’t understand was the way how the French were portrayed in this film – especially somewhere in the middle of French vineyards in a village where it is difficult not to meet a French hillbilly. But strangely enough all the people there were speaking English. A bit of a mystery, that.

Three quarters of the film is shot like a margarine commercial, it takes seven thousand years, and the whole thing is as predictable as a pedophile in a sandbox. Food fetish (as opposed to foot fetish) is not a genre or a measure of a film's quality. And my Chinese soup agrees with me. PS: It would be great if Hallström would die already.

If that movie were significantly shorter and didn't resemble "Chocolat" in its setting even a bit, it would be absolutely beautiful celebration of food. Like this, it is still a celebration of food, additionally of my beloved Indian cuisine, but at the same time, it is a bit lengthy romance and an example that it actually doesn't matter on those stars if you are not happy.
