Some stories are so captivating in their cinematic experience that you can almost see, feel and hear it as if it were happening around you. iDiva handpicks four movies that will make your mouth water…
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
About: Based on the Roald Dahl book, this is a story about Charlie Bucket; an ordinary boy who wins a golden ticket to visit the most marvellous chocolate factory in the world. Join Willy Wonka, the unusual candy-maker on this fun-filled trip and reconnect with your inner child as you experience surreal chocolate rivers and unending mounds of candies. Johnny Depp portrays a character that is childlike and intentionally hasn’t adapted to the world outside, as this factory is his universe. The movie takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride and incites you to value human relationships.
Foodies must watch because: The chocolate river and other such candy delights look so yummy that you want to reach into the screen and wolf them down!
Chocolat (2000)
About: Juliette Binoch plays the lead role in this movie with such sensitive sensuality that you can equate it with chocolate itself. The story revolves around a mother-daughter duo that moves to a small French village and opens a chocolaterie. In the religious and pious atmosphere of that era, a chocolate shop was unwelcome. But little by little, people begin to appreciate and see the wonder of her delightful creations of cocoa, as it leaves an impact in their personal lives.
Foodies must watch because: The art involved in making chocolate looks as interesting as the chocolate itself.
Ratatouille (2007)
About: You cannot go wrong when you pick an animated movie produced by Pixar, distributed by Walt Disney. Add to that a fascinating story about food and you are sure to have a winner. This movie follows a charming rat named Remy on the adventures that bring him to Paris. Here he makes valiant attempts to become a chef in the restaurant made famous by his idol chef Auguste Gusteau against all odds, in an obviously rat-hating world.
