A sneak preview to the well-publicized Steven Spielberg and
Oprah Winfrey produced “food themed”
The Hundred-Foot Journey film had me craving Chef Floyd Cardoz’s Indian and
French food
creations and more of Linus Sandgren’s luscious cinematography. With
the official world premiere just held in New York and general release of
the
movie today,
The Hundred-Foot Journey is well on its own path.
The Hundred-Foot Journey directed by Lasse Hallström, a former cinematographer himself, has put his special visual stamp on his movies;
The Cider House Rules, Chocolat, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and now
The Hundred-Foot Journey. Given
the locales of India, rich with bright colors and earthy tones and
southern France’s quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val’s green
valley and L’Aveyron River one wants to grab their passport and visit
both.
There is no denying that food is one of the leading characters in
this film of a budding Indian culinary talent who learns French
technique from a cookbook, finds a mentor and Michelin stars.
Chef Cardoz, the former executive chef of New York City’s Tabla Restaurant and 2011
Top Chef Masters’
winner had never styled food for a movie previously; it was his
connection with the book’s author that had him based in Paris for five
days creating the Indian and French food filmed in the
Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val scenes.
