In Reply to: Kitchen Stories - a film of few words posted by Victor Khomenko on March 10, 2007 at 17:23:53:
It is a delightful film, but you may find, as have I, that it does not stay with you for too long.
Follow Ups:
...in a theater circa 2003-2004.Just because Kitchen Stories is small scale doesn't mean it's about small things.
I have seen many "big films" that have not stayed with me. I certainly remember the film, but as with most European films, it is character driven, not plot driven. I certainly remember the relationship between the observer and the observee, and the change in their relationship over the course of the film.But the details and the dialog have faded from my memory, leaving me with the belief that it is a pleasant film, but not one that left an lasting impression with me.
As an example, I saw "Color of Paradise", by the Iranian Director Majid Majidi many moons ago. The opening scene shows a young blind boy locating by sound a baby bird which has fallen from its nest, and then show this blind boy (the child actor is really blind) climbing a tree by feel at risk to life and limb to place the bird back into its nest, which he must also located by the crying sounds of the other baby birds. No words are spoken. Yet it is a scene that will likely last me with forever.
Kitchen Stories was a good film, but nothing in the film stayed with me like Color of Paradise.
