To paraphrase screenwriter Steven Knight, \u201cFood is memories\u201d.\u00a0 Since the days of a feeble Oliver Twist innocently saying \u201cPlease sir, I want some more\u201d to Scarlet O\u2019Hara infamously avowing \u201cI\u2019ll never go hungry again\u201d to Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka to Ratatouille to the Food Network and all its esculent edibles of every type imaginable, we have had a love affair with food.\u00a0 Within just the past year, food and the culinary arts have become front and center on the big screen with films like Jon Favreau\u2019s \u201cChef\u201d or \u201cHaute Cuisine\u201d and \u201cLe Chef\u201d.\u00a0 Is it world turmoil and economic upsets and the need for hearth and home and warm memories of the family gathered around the kitchen table at night sharing a meal that drives us to crave comestible comfort, even if vicariously on screen?\u00a0 Who knows.\u00a0 But whatever the reason, food and family are touchstones for us all.\u00a0 When director Lasse Hallstrom last seduced both the foodie and romantic within us, it was with the sensory intoxications of \u201cChocolat\u201d.\u00a0 Now, with THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY, he delivers a rich savory blend of cinematic sugar and spice guaranteed to satisfy the hungriest cinephile! With a pinch of humor and a dash of romance blended to perfection, Hallstrom uses a light touch when whisking his cinematic ingredients together for one of the most delectable delights of the year.<\/p>\n

\"100<\/p>\n

Victims of racist violence that destroys their livelihood and their life in their home of Mumbai, the Kadam family up and moves for a more idyllic and pastoral life in the south of France.\u00a0 Intent on resurrecting their business and bringing Indian cuisine to this uncharted territory of Michelin stars and haute cuisine, Papa and his brood, led by the culinary talents of eldest son Hassan, find an old stone manse that will serve their purposes nicely for the familial ambience they seek.\u00a0 With scent of aromatic filling and Indian music infusing the casual open air design of the new Maison Mumbai, what can possibly go wrong, what\u2019s not love.\u00a0 Madame Mallory, that\u2019s what.<\/p>\n

Holder of a Michelin star, and desperate to earn its second, Le Saule Pleureur is the life\u2019s blood of the OCDC perfectionist Madame Mallory who has maintained the traditions of elegance and fine dining started by her now deceased husband.\u00a0 Unfortunately, Le Saule Pleureur is located just 100-feet across the gravel covered street from Maison Mumbai, something to which Madame and her staff do not take kindly; after all, what kind of restaurant has chickens and children wandering free.\u00a0 Maison Mumbai must go.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t take long before the battle of the kitchen wars takes hold with Madame Mallory and Papa butting heads at every turn, often to comedic result. But while the two of them duke it out everywhere from sidewalk cafes to the local farmers\u2019 market to city hall, Hassan and Madame\u2019s sous-chef Marguerite are exploring the culinary wonders of the region and their two cultures, with Marguerite tacitly instructing Hassan in the art of French cooking.\u00a0 While the sexual and professional tension between the two simmers to a low boil, it\u2019s obvious that the real fire is between Madame and Papa.<\/p>\n

But what happens when the flames of competition erupt into flames of hatred with the Kadams once again on the receiving end of violence and Hassan\u2019s dreams of becoming a world class chef seemingly dashed.<\/p>\n

\"100<\/p>\n

As Madame Mallory, Helen Mirren is as regal as ever. Describing the film as a \u201ca joy to do. . . [b]e in that part of France, making a movie about food.. . .with three such delightful co-stars as I had – Charlotte [Le Bon] and Manish [Dayal] and Om [Puri]\u201d, it\u2019s Mirren and the equally legendary and talented Puri who do the heavy emotional lifting.\u00a0 Admitting that being able to employ a French accent and speak French which is self-admittedly \u201cquite good\u201d, Mirren is both luminous and chameleonic as the hauteur Madame.\u00a0 Of the philosophy that costume is as important a foundation to a character as foundational garments, Mirren was \u201cquite proactive\u201d in the look of Madame Mallory.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s of paramount importance, really, how you look and what you wear; that it tells the right story. . . That said, we had a brilliant costume designer who is actually a wonderful French guy, Pierre-Yves Gayraud.\u201d\u00a0 Transforming Mirren into what she describes as a \u201cchic French woman\u201d, notable is the incremental change to hair, make-up and wardrobe mirroring the emotional growth of the story as Madame goes from rigid and stoic to a welcoming softness.\u00a0 Hair is looser, bouncy, and not as severe, eye shadow is added to make up, clothes go from rigid dark-colored suits to print silk dresses with scarves and Indian-infused pashimas metaphorically acting as an onion with layers being peeled away.\u00a0 As Hallstrom notes, \u201cCostume design was actually very clever and subtle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"100<\/p>\n

Furthering Mirren\u2019s performance is her own pre-production preparation into the persona and ambience of a fine restaurant.\u00a0 Amazed \u201cto see the extent to which chefs and restaurant owners are absolutely obsessed with food. . .but in this wonderful generous way; they\u2019re not obsessed with food for themselves.\u00a0 They\u2019re obsessed with giving someone the most incredible experience\u201d, Mirren spent a day in a local Beverly Hills restaurant observing.\u00a0 Arriving at 9 am \u201cwhen really the action in the kitchen of a restaurant starts happening\u201d, Mirren became a fly on the wall.\u00a0 \u201cI just stood quiet in the corner and watched everything going on.\u00a0 That was absolutely fascinating!\u00a0 Extraordinary.\u00a0 Sort of like a wonderful ballet of people moving around each other, small space, everyone knowing exactly where everything is, where they should be at any one time.\u00a0 The beauty of the workings, like a beautifully oiled machine.\u00a0 Quiet.\u00a0 Absolutely silent.\u00a0 Maybe a little bit of talking, but not raucous, no one shouting. . .Fascinating!\u201d<\/p>\n

Joining Mirren as the elder statesman in THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY is Om Puri.\u00a0 Matching Mirren skewer for skewer, creme puff for creme puff, the two sizzle and sparkle like a perfectly grilled steak and finest glass of champagne.\u00a0 Crediting Puri as turning the cast and crew into \u201cone big family\u201d, according to Mirren, who Puri is in real life isn\u2019t too different than Papa.\u00a0 \u201cHe loves to make feasts.\u00a0 He\u2019s a big family man and he just makes everyone around him into his family.\u00a0 He has that quality that he has on-screen, in real life, of just being this guy who loves life, loves, food loves women, loves family; that kind of a guy.\u00a0 So, he\u2019s just a complete delight to be around.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 For producer Juliet Blake, Puri was her first choice for Papa.\u00a0 \u201cI wanted to go for somebody who had the best acting chops rather than somebody who had a particular look. . .Om is somebody who has worked in Pakistan as an actor as well as in India.\u00a0 For me, it was sort of the cross-culturalness of that that made [Mirren and Puri] interesting to play opposite each other.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 The result is a performance that is both commanding and tender.<\/p>\n

\"100<\/p>\n

As Hassan and Marguerite, Manish Dayal and Charlotte Le Bon bring a fresh youthful vibrancy to the menu, something for which Hallstrom is most appreciative. \u201c[T]here\u2019s a lot of wonderful life, if I may say myself, especially between the young kids Manish and Charlotte, who were also interested in trying to forget that there was a camera there and really be honest and listen to each other.\u201d\u00a0 They succeed in their efforts and fill the performances with natural organic facial responsiveness and reflex.\u00a0 To prepare for their roles, each had to go through some intensive culinary training in order to not only capture that ballet precision Mirren noticed in her kitchen observations, but for preparation and handling of food.\u00a0 Style and technique were essential for each to capture the expertise necessary to imbue the film with authenticity.\u00a0 However, scripted authenticity only went so far with Dayal who dazzled with his own culinary skills in a key omelet making scene.\u00a0 Playing to Hallstrom\u2019s belief in freedom to ad-lib and infuse personality into a role, according to producer Blake,\u00a0 the omelet that Hassan makes is actually \u201c[Dayal\u2019s] father\u2019s recipe and he insisted on the buttermilk.\u00a0 That was the omelet.\u00a0 And when he was saying to Madame Mallory, \u2018Put some more in\u2019 and she gives that look like \u2018I don\u2019t know\u2019 – that is exactly how his family make omelets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Written by Steven Knight (the genius behind this year\u2019s sleeper hit \u201cLocke\u201d) and adapted from the novel of the same name by Richard C. Morais, THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY is more about capturing the flavor of the book and the cross-culture pollination of France and India than its specific details; and that\u2019s more than okay as it allows director Lasse Hallstrom to bring a delicate airy lightness to the film.\u00a0 Capitalizing on stereotypical cliches about the two cultures – the snobbish rude French, the garish loud music loving colorful Indians, the love of food and cooking – the cliches are also treated with a light touch adding fuel for fun and funny and setting the stage for rich performances from the film\u2019s cast.\u00a0 The conceptual ideals of \u201ca journey\u201d are elicited on so many levels – romance, self-discovery, professional growth, cultural growth.\u00a0 Life is a journey.\u00a0 It may as well be a tasty one.<\/p>\n

\"100<\/p>\n

Subtextually, THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY is a blueprint for cultural co-existence, celebrating the underdog who gets by with a little help from his friends – and sometimes enemies –\u00a0 making food the true melting pot for the world.\u00a0 Inner conflict runs deepest within the character of Hassan and his journey.\u00a0 Unfortunately, that conflict never quite feels that conflicted or fully fleshed out; be it due to script or performance, I\u2019m still not certain.<\/p>\n

Known for his practice of letting the camera run and giving actors the opportunity to deliver variations of the scripted performance, not to mention his patented \u201cOne for Fun\u201d final scene shots, Hallstrom recalled that \u201cwith Om\u2019s presence there and Helen\u2019s skill offering 10-15 varied options on each take, she\u2019s so smart and inventive, all that created an atmosphere like a feeler for me of an Indian family.\u201d\u00a0 The result gave Hallstrom and editor Andrew Mondshein \u201ctons of footage\u201d to cull through in cutting the final film, and I must say, there\u2019s not a visual mis-step in the film.<\/p>\n

Linus Sandgren\u2019s cinematography is nothing short of delicate beauty, allowing the flavor of story and performance to bubble to the top of the production.\u00a0 Be they the panoramic vistas of the region, a saturated inky starlit night, the pale elegant classicism of Madame’s restaurant or the vibrant color filled richness of the local market, every image is just one more tasty morsel of enjoyment.\u00a0 The light in the film has a \u201clight\u201d touch to it; bright, yet soft, and just lacing the lightness of the film as a whole.\u00a0 Shooting on 35mm, widescreen lensing captures the bucolic pastoral beauty of the green trees and grassy land that surround both restaurants which, ironically are actually located 650 miles apart.\u00a0 A facade representing Le Saule Pleureur was erected across the drive from the Maison Mumbai for lensing the repeated 100-foot journeys between the two restaurants while exteriors of La Saule Pleureur such as the party scene were lensed at the second storybook country location.\u00a0 Aerial wide shots celebrate the metaphor of short distances bridging worlds and cultures.<\/p>\n

\"100<\/p>\n

It was actually Sandgren who convinced Hallstrom to shoot THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY on film.\u00a0 Calling Sandgren \u201cmy favorite DP now\u201d, Hallstrom feels the two \u201cconnected so well, almost a magical instinctual connection, the same way of thinking\u201d leading to visuals and tone that have a lightness to them, with visual texture that is metaphoric for the emotional texture.\u00a0\u00a0 As Hallstrom notes, \u201cthere is a much more subtlety in film. . .a film camera observes color much more in detail and much more subtle than a digi-camera can do.\u201d\u00a0 Be it capturing the misty quality of the air at sunrise, the bucolic natural colors of the greens and the blues and that French sky or the sparkle of a fish splashing in the river, the result is luminous.<\/p>\n

A production element present here not typically required on set are the culinary consultants – both for principal filming and for reshoots. As vegan Hallstrom laughs, \u201cWe had an Indian specialist and French specialist chef.\u00a0 And some of the food that was made, there was too much attention to taste than to the actual look!\u201d which led to the talents of Floyd Cardoz who \u201cwas important because he was on the re-shoot when we did additional shooting.\u00a0 We had to re-shoot some of the closeups of the food.. .For us it was more important to look right rather than taste right!\u201d<\/p>\n

A surprising subtlety of the film is its score.\u00a0 I say surprising as the composer is A.R. Rahman who typically has a heavier hand than we hear with THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY.\u00a0 Composing a score with a great symphonic classicism that\u2019s infused with the Bollywood sensibility for which he\u2019s more well known, the result is beauteous.\u00a0 Working collaboratively, Hallstrom describes the scoring process. \u201cWe went through all the cues and said, \u2018Now, here\u2019s a French one, here\u2019s an Indian one, here\u2019s one where they collide, here\u2019s one where they fuse, here\u2019s a classical French symphonic version with an Indian flavor to it.\u2019\u00a0 We had all kinds of labels like that.\u00a0 I got to work with him in his studio while he recorded it.\u00a0 That was fun!\u00a0 I could be immediately be there to say this or that, more of that.\u00a0 He improvises a lot like I do.\u00a0 He does his music recording kind of similar to my way of working with film – last second impulses.\u201d<\/p>\n

No last second impulse needed here.\u00a0 Fulfilling, rich and delicious, THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY is an effervescent delight, sizzling with cinematic and emotional flavor.<\/p>\n
