a multiple course feast for the film fan . a great cast . a simple story that leave just enough unsaid . a great soundtrack . beautiful cinematography . some great line . 7 . 5/10 . this be my 2nd viewing of the movie and with the first viewing quite a few year ago . warn do not watch this movie if youre hungry . anyone that love italian food and will love the talk and image of the meal that be create throughout the movie . if only we have the technology to truly capture the aroma of the food and then the only thing miss would be to actually be on the set and taste it all . i also find it also rather sexy . i would not comment on the appeal of the suave italian lead men and but the lady be just beautiful . a couple of my favourite isabella rossellini and minnie driver grab lot of sexy shot and the early role from allison janney be a pleasant surprise . like other movie center around food and the food itself add to the sex appeal of the movie . best line of the movie what the matter . my mother be such a terrible cook . the small part of the car salesman play by campbell scott contribute more than it fair share of great line and incl . beautiful place though and italy . yes it be and have you be . no and never . i have have the soundtrack for quite some time and i use it to accompany activity in the kitchen or dinner music and but i get a good appreciation of it see it in the context of the movie again . the movie conjure up feeling of passion and perseverance and love and pride and as well a provide glimpse of a deep understanding and appreciation for the human heart . great movie and probably a keeper .
