Eden

This tender tale of a specialist chef whose culinary skills are so profound that they provoke an almost-sexual response in his diners, was a huge hit in Germany and the winner of the Audience Award at the Rotterdam Film Festival. Striking up a friendship with a pretty young waitress, the cheerily corpulent gourmand begins to design a series of dishes that will transform her life. A beautifully-judged film, pitched between comedy, drama and romance, with food as the essential ingredient that binds its many charms together.

  Good but Quirky
  
  If you like quirky European and aren't afraid of a few subtitles then Eden might be for you. The slightly rambling plot line just about hangs together in... read more »
