THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY stars Helen Mirren and is produced by Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey and Juliet Blake. The film opens in theatres everywhere August 8th.
In “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France.
Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin-starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren) gets wind of it.
Her icy protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own escalate into a heated battle between the two establishments until Hassan’s passion for French haute cuisine — and for Madame Mallory’s enchanting sous chef, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) — combine with his mysteriously-delicious talent to weave magic between their two cultures and imbue Saint-Antonin with the flavors of life that even Madame Mallory cannot ignore. At first Madame Mallory’s culinary rival, she eventually recognizes Hassan’s gift as a chef and takes him under her wing.
“The Hundred-Foot Journey” abounds with flavors that burst across the tongue. A stimulating triumph over exile, blossoming with passion and heart, it is a portrayal of two worlds colliding and one young man’s drive to find the comfort of home, in every pot, wherever he may be.

what an interesting plot. I've been reading a lot about this film but never really got the gist of what it was about.
I will probably wait until video. We don't do the movies a whole lot.
I haven't heard of this movie before but it definitely sounds entertaining!
This looks like it is going to be such an amazing movie. Really looking forward to this one.

It's such a good movie, can't wait for my son to see it.
I would see this just for Helen Mirren… she's one of my favorite actresses!
I really want to see this movie. I didn't know Oprah was one of the producers. That's way cool!
I'm really looking forward to this one. My husband and I have very different likes & dislikes when it comes to food, so the theme of worlds colliding appeals to me.
