I guess most of you have already seen the “Ratatouille” cartoon. For those who still haven’t, I hope this post will inspire you to, as it’s an amazing and heart-warming story.
This is a story about a Remy, a rat that’s very skilled in the kitchen, who dreams of becoming a famous chef. His taste is so refined that he refuses to eat general garbage, as most of his friends and relatives do (they use him as poison detector). He meets Linguini, a garbage boy working for a famous Parisian restaurant. They become friends and Remy helps Linguini climb his way to a respected chef by hiding under his cap and guiding him by pulling his hair. Linguini especially hopes to impress Colette, one of his co-workers he has a crush on. And that’s where the trouble begins.
Throughout the movie, Remy finds himself torn between his passion and his other fellow rat associates who do not support his dream. He learns an important lesson about friendship and life, all while staying true to himself and who he really is.
Original title “Bonjour Anne” instantly gives the charming French note.
It’s a film just made for you to watch with a glass of wine and some nice cheeses on the board, let yourself dive into the French landscapes. Easy to watch, there is a chance you might identify with Anne, but it will not burden you.
Anne is at a crossroads in her life. Long married to a successful, driven but inattentive movie producer, she unexpectedly finds herself taking a car trip from Cannes to Paris with her husband’s business associate. What should be a seven-hour drive turns into a carefree two-day adventure filled with diversions involving picturesque sights, fine food and wine, humour, wisdom and romance, reawakening Anne’s senses and giving her a new lust for life.
Cheers and enjoy your evening 🙂
