The Hundred-Foot Journey” is a film that demands that you take it s
eriously.
With its feel-good themes of multicultural understanding, it is about Somet
hing
Important. It even comes with the stamp of approval from titanic tastemakers
Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg, who both serve as producers. What more
convincing could you possibly need?
There’s something familiar about the treacly and sanctimonious way
this film is
being packaged. It reeks of late-‘90s/early ‘00s Miramax fa
re: films with
tasteful yet ubiquitous ad campaigns and unabashed Oscar aspirations which
suggested that seeing them (and, more importantly, voting for them) would m
ake
you a better person. Films like “The Cider House Rules,”
“Chocolat” and “The
Shipping News.” Films by Swedish director Lasse Hallstrom.
Hallstrom just happens to be the director here, as well, and the similariti
es
to “Chocolat” are inescapable. Stop me if think you��
�ve heard this one before: A
family moves into a quaint but closed-minded French village and shakes thin
gs
up with an enticing array of culinary delicacies. This new enterprise happe
ns
to sit across the street from a conservative and revered building that�
��s a town
treasure. But the food in question isn’t a bon bon this time��
�rather, the movie
is the bon bon itself.
But despite being handsomely crafted, well acted and even sufficiently
enjoyable, “The Hundred-Foot Journey” is also conventional
and predictable. And
for a film that’s all about opening up your senses and sampling spi
cy, exotic
tastes, this comic drama is entirely too safe and even a little bland.
What livens things up, though, is the interplay between Helen Mirren and Om
Puri as battling restaurant owners operating across the street from each
other—100 feet away from each other, to be exact, a short but fraug
ht trip that
various characters take for various reasons. Watching these veteran actors
stoop to sabotage each other provides a consistent source of laughs. She�
��s all
sharp angles, piercing looks and biting quips; he’s all round jovia
lity,
boisterous blasts and warmhearted optimism. The contrast between the British
Oscar-winner and the Indian acting legend offers the only tension in this
otherwise soft and gooey dish—that is, until the film goes all soft
and gooey,
too.
Mirren stars as Madame Mallory, owner of Le Saule Pleurer (The Weeping Will
ow),
an elegant and expensive French restaurant that’s the winner of a p
restigious
Michelin star. But one star isn’t enough for the coldly driven Mme.
Mallory—she
wants another, and then another.
But her bloodless quest for gourmet grandeur is interrupted by the arrival
across the street of an Indian family: the Kadams, who’ve been wand
ering around
Europe ever since their beloved restaurant back home burned down during
political rioting. When the brakes on their car malfunction on a treacherous
stretch of spectacular countryside, Papa (Puri) insists it’s a sign
from his
late wife and decides to open a new eatery in the charming town at the bott
om
of the hill.
Never mind that one of the most celebrated restaurants in all of France is
sitting right across the street from the empty building he rents. Never mind
that they are in an insular part of the country where the residents probably
don’t even know what Indian cuisine is, much less like it, as his c
hildren
point out. He has faith in his food—and in his son, Hassan (Manish
Dayal), a
brilliant, young chef.
Just as Papa and Mme. Mallory strike up a sparky rivalry, Hassan enjoys a
flirtatious relationship with French sous chef Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon,
who played an early model and muse in the recent “Yves Saint Lauren
t” biopic).
The script from Steven Wright (who also wrote the far trickier “Loc
ke” from
earlier this year, as well as “Dirty Pretty Things” and �
��Eastern Promises”) is
full of such tidy parallels, as well as trite and overly simplistic
proclamations about how food inspires memories. Dayal and Le Bon do look lo
vely
together, though, and share a light, enjoyable chemistry.
Then again, it all looks lovely—both the French and Indian dishes a
s well as
the lush, rolling surroundings, which we see through all four seasons; the
work
of cinematographer Linus Sandgren, who recently shot “American Hust
le.” This
sweetly pleasing combination of ingredients would have been perfectly suita
ble
if the film didn’t take a wild and needless detour in the third act
. That’s
when it becomes an even less interesting movie than it already was, in spit
e of
its loftier aspirations.
