Review of Mostly Martha (2001) by Deborah P — 01 Sep 2006

There seems to be a lot of film and literature where food and sex (or at least sexual tension!) are correlated. This German film is one of them and it's really quite delightful. Two competitive chefs have an instant attraction that takes on the appearance of a mutual contempt as they try to conceal it.

Will their different approaches to food (its preparation, presentation and consumption!) and their passion for what they do, bring them together or drive them apart? The soundtrack really adds to the humour and mood of the telling of this story.

Good fun.
