Bittersüße Schokolade (1992)

Bittersüße Schokolade: Directed by Alfonso Arau. With Marco Leonardi, Lumi Cavazos, Regina Torné, Mario Iván Martínez. When tradition prevents her from marrying the man she loves, a young woman discovers she has a unique talent for cooking.

“The two things that stood out for me in this film are the telling of this story and how you had no idea what was going to happen next and of course the performance of Lumi Cavazos. Its one of those rare experiences that stay with you long after you have seen the film. Both strong and self assured. Whats really amazing is that its Cavazos first film role (That I know of, anyway) her natural charm is essential to this story. Not a film for all tasteu0026#39;s but a very unique movie overflowing with romantic grandeur.”
