Like Water for Chocolate
A film about food, passion and family. Not all at once, though
The flick that gave rom-coms a good name, Like Water For Chocolate is a sensory pleasure about the old life in Mexico. While Pedra and Tita are in love, their marriage doesn't fit into her family's plans.
Tita is to wait for her older sister to marry though the story that unfolds in between is lush with culture, values and joyous visuals of Mexican life. The $20 price tag includes a mezze plate and a beer or wine.
Like Water For Chocolate screens on Tue 26 Aug at 8.30pm at Madame Fling Flong, Level 1, 169 King St, Newtown 2042. (02 9565 2471). $20.
