I have seen this movie years back and I really loved it then. After watching it again recently, I appreciated the movie more. The framework of this movie is food; it is the force that drives people's action, emotions and decision. Food is intertwined with life. The combination of the real with the supernatural illustrates clearly the impact of food to ones being. Food is magical.
