Like Water For Chocolate

Krissy, I haven't seen Like Water for Chocolate since it was released in (I think) 1992. I do remember it as being pretty hot! It was an interesting look at how women were controlled in families and how passion was suppressed. If I recall, Tita, the main character, is able to literally express her repressed emotions through the food she cooked for the family.

So, do you prefer dubbed or subtitled foreign films?

Subtitles for me--I prefer the cadence of the original language.

Has anyone seen "Very Annie Mary" (2001)? It's a funny, quirky little Welsh film about a very shy and repressed young woman (Rachel Griffiths) who decides to radically re-make her life. Ioan Gruffudd ("Amazing Grace," "Horatio Hornblower," etc.) and Matthew Rhys are hilarious as Hob and Nob, her gay friends. Jonathan Pryce plays her repressive, overbearing father. It's a real gem!
