Do you also
have an impression that there are more and more films in which food
plays the leading role? Here's a short list of the most recent culinary films. I haven't seen any of them yet but they all seem to be
an interesting view on the artistic side of food. :)
The
Lunchbox – a subtle love story set in Mumbai. The role of the
love's messanger is played by the curry lunchbox prepared lovingly by
the main female character. Trailer
Delicious
- a film about a romance between a young passionate cook (Nico
Rogner) and a woman suffering from an eating disorder (Louise Brealey
– better known as Molly from BBC 'Sherlock'). Trailer
Chef
– a commedy about a visionary chef (Jon Favreau) who quits his job
in a restaurant and opens his own food truck with Cuban sandwiches.
The film is studded with American stars, including Robert Downey,
Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sofía Vergara and Dustin Hoffman. Trailer
Two
Greedy Italians – a BBC programme about two famous chefs and
food experts, Antonio Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo, who travel
around Italy talking with relish about the real Italian cuisine. Trailer
The Trip
to Italy – a similar idea to “Two Greedy Italians” but,
unlike the BBC programme, it is a feature commedy starring two famous
British actors, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. Trailer
And what
other films about food can you recommend? :)
PS. Before
you go to the cinema, check out this hillarious trailer of Electric
Cinema, one of the oldest working cinemas in London, and see how many
British actors/celebrities you can recognize. :) Trailer
