Like Water For Chocolate

ALFONSO ARAU | MEXICO | 1992 | 105 MIN | R | SPANISH, ENGLISH

Sweet roses and the sharp scent of garlic mingle in the air. In the trembling candlelight, silent tears are caught by the simmering pot. A lover’s touch is only a tantalizing starter, for true longing is a feast to be voraciously devoured in the final course. Dip into Alfonso Arau’s sumptuous world of magical realism that possesses all senses.

Part of the Mexican Cultural Center’s Mexican Week programming, we will celebrate the work of Alfonso Arau in this beloved film.

Cast: Marco Leonardi, Lumi Cavazos, Regina Torné, Ada Carrasco
