The story is told through the lens of magic and tradition, of cultural values that are articulated through the senses, more specifically through food that feeds these senses.

Rating: A- --
The food scenes in this Mexican fable are just as sumptuous and appetizing as those in Denmark's Oscar-winning Babette's Feast, excpet they have an extra-erotic and surreal appeal due to masterful cinematography by Emmanuel Lubezki and Steve Bernstein

Like Water For Chocolate is an extravagant, playful romantic fable that celebrates passion, liberation and the spirit of women but never forgets that unbridled ecstasy comes at a cost.
