Customer Reviews

"Babette’s Feast" with a 'Like Water for Chocolate' feel.

This is a unique movie with features and messages portrayed in “Babette’s Feast (1988)" and "Like Water for Chocolate (1993)". The story has been told in many ways. Yet this movie is still unique in its presentation. We get to visit with our favorite actors, and they do such a good job that they do not overwhelm the characters. I especially liked Alfred Molina, who played a similar role in "Enchanted April (1992)" like someone who was not a bad person; he was just misunderstood or now has a misunderstanding and comes around later to be a good guy. Like "Babette's Feast", everyone is supposed to shun Vianne Rocher, who goes out of her way to help people. And like "Like Water for Chocolate,” the movie has a mystical feel. The basic story is a town where everyone knows their place and duty is visited by a north wind carrying a mysterious woman and her daughter. Their presence woke up the people from their organized existence. The DVD has all the DVD's goodies that you are looking for, such as voice-over, deleted scenes, etc. And they do not force the coming attractions on you.
