Food is a recurring theme in movies, and this summer has seen at least two films that embrace this savory narrative ingredient. Eat, Pray, Love, the Hollywood-fueled hit, and I Am Love, an art house pick starring the phenomenal Tilda Swinton, follow similar stories: a woman’s journey toward self-realization by way of romantic and gastronomical awakenings.
We looked into what flavorful cinematic delights might be found in our own DVD collection, and there’s a menu to suit all tastes, from the most discerning palette to junk food junkies. Here are just a few of what’s available at your library.
Bon appétit!
