I haven't heard of these and don't know how viewing them would be possible for me.

I do, however, have quite a collection of foodie films on DVD, ie films with a food theme. These include such films as Babettes Feast, Eat, Drink, Man, Woman - I could go on and on.

Anyone else thus afflicted ??

me too Joan!

Tompopo is still my favourite & Julie & Julia with Meryl Streep is in the brain-box too - I'm sure there are much more that I can't think of right now.

Oooops typo - I meant Tampopo - but you all knew that right?!?!

Joan,

I am quite an enthusiast of Gastro Eno films and have seen all the ones that you have mentioned ..

I also adored Chocolat, with Juliette Binoche & Johnny Depp ..

And the film in which Jean Remo portrays a Ferràn Adrià type Chef (though not stated who he is portraying ) ..


Then there was a lovely one with Catherine Zeta Jones as well.

All the ones I mentioned are or will be on D.V.D. in 2019 ..


There is also the story of Ferràn Adrià called: Historia de Sueño, History of a Dream, which includes 13 years of documentation and 15 episodes. It is on D.V.D.


Thank you for all your feedback .. Have a nice weekend ..

Joan,

There is one more, which I highly recommend and it is on DVD. It was produced in 2015, and is called: Bocados, Una Revolución / Snacks, A revolution ..

It stars 3 top notch Spanish Chefs, 3 Michelin Star Angél León, Semi retired 5 Michelin Star Carme Ruscadella ( Japan = 2 Michelin and she closed her Sant Pau, Barcelona Restaurant a few months ago and it was a Three Michelin ) and 3 Michelin Quique Dacosta ..

It is a documentary about the way in which Spain and its neighbors have transformed their kitchen restaurants ..

If you can find it, at F.N.A.C. it is wonderful ..

Am in agreement with Joan

Out here in east cow flop, finding films like this are like trying to find hens teeth.

One I enjoyed was the ramen girl
