Review: |
It's extraordinary and although it's slow - especially at the beginning - but you'll be gripped. What's more, if you're even half as greedy as I am you'll love the cooking lesson. The whole thing is really a romantic, wildly poetic plea for the merits of hedonism -v- those of respectability. (Guess which side I'm on?) There are no frocks, no jokes, hardly any speech at all, and I don't think there was a single snatch of pink - you won't be surprised that it is from a story by Karen Blixen, who inspired Out Of Africa - but the acting is the tops and it'll leave you eager to get back into the kitchen. Turtles of the world beware. |
