THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY

100 foot journey
A family leaves India and after a brief and discontented stay in England (too near Heathrow Airport), they end up in the quaint French alpine village of Lumière. The family opens a restaurant bringing Indian cuisine to the small town. One hundred feet away from the Indian restaurant is a renown French food restaurant. The opening provokes Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren) the talented but bitter local chef. Don’t go to The Hundred-Foot Journey hungry. There are plenty of scenes showing the eye-popping French markets and restaurant kitchens with all the wonderful food. I enjoyed the members of the Kadam family especially the patriarch played by Om Puri and his gifted son, Hassan, played by Manish Dayal. This is a movie about the love of food and the people who prepare it. Most people will enjoy this movie. GRADE: B+
