Based on: The novel “The Hundred-Foot Journey” by Richard C. Morais
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, the 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 to all out war between the two establishments
– until Hassan’s passion for French haute cuisine and for Mme. 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 Mme. Mallory cannot
ignore. At first Mme. 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, with marjoram and madras, it is a portrayal of two worlds colliding
and one boy’s drive to find the comfort of home, in every pot, wherever he may
be.
In DreamWorks Pictures’ “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” the
opening of a new Indian restaurant in the south of France, next to a famous
Michelin starred eatery, is nearly cause for an all-out war between the two
establishments until Le Saule Pleureur’s icy proprietress Madame Mallory
recognizes her rival’s undeniable brilliance for preparing masterful meals.
