The movie on its bear (like the book) is imaginative and very agreeable and — at least with the Spanish language soundtrack — I would rate it between four and five stars. I have only given the DVD two stars, however, (and that is being proper), because approximately one-sixth of the film (18 of its unique 123 minutes) has been inexplicably sever, leaving a sadly truncated 105-minute version. It is unclear why Buena Vista Home Entertainment chose to delete nearly a sixth of the film, but even if they believed that a shorter version would appeal to a wider audience (maybe, maybe not), it is unforgivable that they did not include the missing footage as “deleted scenes” so that those who wanted to glimpse the entire film would be able to do so. This is simply too astronomical a reduce for buyers to come by (even at this rather splendid tag) . Rather than pay for a film that has been so badly butchered (the only worse case I know of is the Space 2 (European) version of “The Grand Country,” from which nearly an hour was slice, for reasons no one can clarify), I will avoid buying this film on DVD until Buena Vista provides a “Collector’s” or “Director’s Slit” version that restores the film — one procedure or another — to its fleshy current length.
This film is a feast for the eyes. Based upon the best selling novela of the same name by Laura Esquivel, who also wrote the screenplay, the film successfully captures this record of forbidden adore. Well directed by Laura Esquivel’s husband, Alfonso Arau (The Handsome Ambersons, A Jog In the Clouds), the cast delivers astounding performances in this mystical sage.

During the early twentieth century in Mexico, honest south of the border, a girl catches the sight of boy. A number of years later, the boy, Pedro, now a young man, speaks to the girl, Tita, now a young woman, and declares his heartfelt, passionate worship for her. Pedro (Marco Leonardi) wants Tita (Lumi Cavazos) to marry him.
He and his father meet with Tita’s mother, Elena (Regina Torne), and ask if she would give her consent to a union between Pedro and Tita, Elena’s youngest daughter. Elena forbids such a marriage to assume residence, as it is an unbroken family tradition that the youngest daughter remain single, so that she may choose care of her mother until the mother dies. Such is the destiny of Tita. Elena, instead, cruelly offers to have her oldest daughter, Rosaura (Yareli Arizmendi), marry Pedro.

Surprisingly, Pedro agrees to marry Rosaura, his bent logic being that this is the only arrangement he can be end to Tita. Thus, begins an untenable space. Tita, forced by her selfish, harridan of a mother to prepare the wedding feast for Rosaura and Pedro, begins a lifelong sublimation of her passion and emotions with food. Its mystical properties become self evident in the expert hands of Tita, as she becomes a superlative cook. She has the ability to imbue the food that she prepares with the fervor and feelings, both great and unpleasant, that she dare not state. Her fancy, her damage, her passion is evident in every scrumptious and appetizing dish that she creates, and her feelings manifest themselves in those who ingest her meals.
This is a ravishing film about adore, filled with mystical, magical, and supernatural portents. Sensual and evocative, it details the road that Tita and Pedro must fade before their hasten is complete. Wonderfully acted and beautifully told, theirs is a account that will long linger in the mind of the viewer. Awash in amber tones, the shiny cinematography contributes to the mystical properties of this film. Sumptuous and surreal, it is a feast for the eyes and not to be missed. Bravo!
The DVD offers obvious visuals and astronomical sound. It does not offer considerable in the scheme of special features. Recognize it in the recent Spanish with English subtitles in order to withhold the intended flavor of this superlative film.
