Foreign Film Friday: “Like Water for Chocolate” by Alfonso Arau
February 13 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
(Year, 1h 45m, Mexico, Romantic Drama by Alfonso Arau)
Based on the novel by Laura Esquivel, this magical realist film portrays the youngest daughter in her family, the beautiful Tita (Lumi Cavazos), who is forbidden to marry her true love, Pedro (Marco Leonardi). Since tradition dictates that Tita must care for her mother, Pedro weds her older sister, Rosaura (Yareli Arizmendi), though he still loves Tita. The situation creates much tension in the family, and Tita’s powerful emotions begin to surface in fantastical ways.
