Review of What's the Word? Literary Feasts

For those who haven't seen the movies, "Like Water For Chocolate" and "Babette's Feast," this half-hour piece might be a satisfying meal discusing the books from which these books came. But for those who have, there might be a sense that there isn't much new material in this documentary. Some people might have the opposite reaction and love the discussion of the familiar scenes from these sumptuous films inspired by sumptuous books. In general, this series would be more appealing for the over 50 crowd. It's an old-style production - very straight forward and literary. This series could very easily follow EuroQuest or Radio Netherlands half-hour docs.
