剧情介绍
Maravan, a charming young immigrant from Sri Lanka works in Zurich as a sous-chef, but dreams of opening his own restaurant where traditional Indian kitchen, as his grandmother taught it to him, crosses over with avant-garde "molecular kitchen". Turns out his creations are highly aphrodisiatic, so much so that when he casually invites his colleague Andrea (Jessica Schwarz) over she ends up seducing him, even though he's pretty conservative and believes in arranged marriage and she's actually a lesbian. While the two are getting their business started, Maravan's cousin returns to his homeland and is recruited by the underground army Tamil Tigers. Marvan tries to bail him out, but also discovers that one of his clients, the superseedy Dalmann, is actually an arms dealer -- to the Tamil Tigers! Oh, and he's also sleeping with the girlfriend of Andrea, who's a lesbian and a prostitute (for men). At the same time, Maravan's nan is ill and has to come to Zurich for treatment, and the toothsome Sandana, with whom he was arranged to be married but who gave him the cold shoulder, seems not averse to rekindling the flame ...

看海报以为是美食爱情片,看完觉得不知所云。又是催情食物,又是政客黑色交易,又是极端组织无耻敛财。想表达太多,最后反而失去了主题。打着美食的幌子讲政治故事就是完全不搭

小易甫
影片以美食为切入,但该线索随后被不断打断,情节核心转为斯里兰卡泰米尔民族与军队的几十年内战,于是观众很快看到以移民身份居于瑞士的男主角陷于个人反叛,军火贩子和同乡恋人的复杂关系中,这样需要借助闪回来交代的政治背景和美食烹饪格格不入,但后者也许讽刺地成了影片唯一引起观众兴趣的内容。

西方人普遍还是对神秘的东方保持着一定中二的幻想,总是觉得古老的东方有着什么奇奇怪怪的偏方
