when the british film magazine sight and sound have one of their periodic time of ask critic to list what they think be the best film ever make and there be a book which collect article by several of them and one of whom say that if you be the type of person who do not tear up at the bell of st. mary and he do not want to know you . i try to avoid that philosophy and but if i endorse it and big night would be that type of film for me and a litmus test . this be a wonderful movie and and i usually be not a big fan of food movie . i thought babettes feast be too full of whimsy and and whimsy also bogged down the often good tampopo ( eat drink man woman and it could be argue and be a relationship movie which happen to be set in the world of food and where the others be inextricably food movie ) . but this be wonderful . tucci and scott say they study a lot of film master and and it show here while there nothing that scream first film . instead and they take their time tell the story and and set up character we care about and even pascal and the rival restaurant owner . and a less movie wouldn not have have the scene between isabella rosellini and minnie driver which be quiet yet move and like the rest of the movie . the food scene live up to the hype and and that final scene be move .
