Estômago, (Estomago: A Gastronomic Story) (2007, Unrated)
Movies about food are quite popular. Movies about food that are not exactly tasteful and with a Fellini ?flavor? are very unusual. Estômago is a black comedy with references from the Italian cinema, specially from Fellini (the soundtrack sounds like Nights of Cabiria´s), but with strong and hot colors to give a Brazilian taste. Food as a metaphor for sensuality. Food as a way to get power. The rise and downfall of a simple man that discover his talent in cooking. Highly recommended. |

Budapest (2009, Unrated)
Maybe to those who didn´t read Chico Buarque´s novel, the movie can be interesting; otherwise, it´s hard to get into it. The movie is not bad and I know how hard it is to adapt a novel into a script, but the movie "simplifies" and ends up losing the great about the book. Most of the nude and sex scenes are desnecessary, even if mentioned in the book, and the long period and hard effort of the character to learn the Hungarian language is not perceptible. Also, a few (and sometimes long) shots about irrelevant parts/points. |
