Arriving from Broome
Jerome, a guest of the Broome
Uniting Church is arriving in
Darwin this week, and seeking
accommodation in a flat or guest
room.
From Ray McGinnis
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a movie about the Kadam family, who have fled
their native India after their restaurant was burned down during a political
protest and the mother killed (presumably a Muslim-Hindu clash). After
spending a year in England, the family heads to France, where it wanders
around the countryside while Papa (Om Puri) looks for the right place to open
a new Indian restaurant in Europe. When the van the Kadam’s are driving
breaks down in a picture postcard village due to break failure, the location of
the restaurant falls into place as they get the van fixed. Papa discovers an
empty restaurant for sale right across the street from Madame Mallory’s
(Helen Mirren) top flight classic French restaurant Le Saule Pleureur. Papa’s
son, Hassan, has an innate gift for cooking. Hassan makes an omelette for
Madame Mallory, which results in her offering Hassan a position as chef in her
kitchen. Hassan is also fond of one of the chefs at the restaurant, Marguerite.
When Marguerite learns that Hassan is to join the kitchen at her restaurant
another competition and mixed emotions cloud their budding relationship.
Type: Drama
Director: Lasse Hallstrom
Film company: Weinstein Company
Release date: August 8, 2014
Starring: Helen Mirren, Manish Dayal, Om Puri, Charlotte Le Bron
Rating: PG-13
Papa Kadam believes he’s found the perfect spot to open an Indian restaurant
in France. The only problem is he’s selected a location that’s only 100 feet
away from Le Saule Pleureur,one of best-reviewed restaurants in the region.
Madame Mallory is tenacious in her purpose to earn a second Michelin star, a
prized rating for restaurants in France. At one point, she orders all the shellfish
and salmon in the village market to prevent the upstart Indian restaurant from
being able to prepare many of the dishes featured on their menu. A feud
begins between the restaurants, which is finally ended when an attempted
arson of the Indian restaurant reveals elements of racism within the wider
community.
Prayer links…
God of journeys large and small, the steps we take are ours to make. As we
journey, help us to discern our path and the places where spiritual qualities
will infuse our living each day, so that our journey may not be in vain. In Christ
we pray. Amen.
