Dieta mediterránea (2009)

Viva Sofia

I just saw this film twice because I loved it so much. Having lived in Spain for 10 years, I think I am the most equipped to comment on this film. I think this film captures, through some excellent acting on Olivia Molina's part, the remarkable transformation of a simple village girl to a sophisticated woman and internationally successful chef. This film is not about Sofia (Olivia Molina) not being able to choose between two men. She in fact loves these two men and is consistent throughout the film that she loves both of them and wants to be together with both. However, life and traditional thinking forces her to marry one of them. This film in not about the passion that food can bring to one's life but the passion that a woman brings to food and all those around her. "Viva Sofia" Excellent writing, casting, acting, directing and editing. After seeing this film I wanted to fall in love again……and again!
