Movie #308 "Mostly Martha" is a pure delight. I wanted to see it after I saw the remake "No Reservations," which I also liked, but this one I would highly recommend. Everything is really good about it --- so few mistakes --- with casting, with sets and props, with lighting, with characterization, the chemistry, the kitchen scenes, the reality of it all --- I liked it a lot! I would rank it right up there with "Big Night" as an appetizing movie about food. You'll want to eat out at a really good restaurant after this one!

Mostly Martha
Bella Martha
(2002) PG
German director Sandra Nettelbeck whips up this tragicomic tale about an uptight professional chef named Martha (Martina Gedeck), who finds her world turned upside down when she takes in her newly orphaned niece, Lina, and tries her hand at parenting. Martha's obsession with precision gourmet cooking extends to discussing recipes with her bewildered therapist (August Zirner) and verbally attacking anyone who attempts to send her food back.
