There are only two things I really (like, really!) miss when days get too oddly busy to do the things I wholeheartedly appreciate in life: photographing (new places or not) and watching movies. For the first, let's also blame it on the day time this time of the year, coming home always dark doesn't really help...
Anyway, let's talk about The Hundred-Foot Journey, my delight this morning! An ode to all senses.
You know the smell is the sense through which our memories can be revived and "reactivated" more easily and profoundly. Not even our vision can recall memories as much as the scents can do (parfum, food, wood, houses, the sea, etc.), so I'd like to accentuate an apparently simple moment in the movie where Hassan (Manish Dayal) smells some spices gifted to him by her mom long ago and the immediate emotion provoked on him when he smells it again. It's beautiful! It also helps the great photography and recording work done in this movie.
Beyond the smell and taste awareness, the location of the movie and its landscapes complete the journey - Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val - south of France (bliss!) brings me the most unforgettable memories too...
Last but not least, I loved the sensibility of the text.
