A Classic - Big Night review by PM
This is one of my very favourite films, utterly beautiful from the very first kitchen scene to the last. It's about deep and abiding loves, for food and perfection, the love between two brothers with very different views. All of these are set against a prevailing tolerance for cheap and reasonable, things of no real content or value. I will continue to watch it for the rest of my days, especially when I need a big dose of beauty.

A classic food and relationship movie - Big Night review by AM
Terrific acting (and Ian Holm completely OTT) and great atmosphere with a lovely story. Very engaging film.
