The kitchen’s all steamy.
One of the sultriest films of the ’90s, this Mexican masterpiece combines sex and food, swirling the flavors together to create a savory dish to remember.
At the center of this tale of brooding romance is the absolutely wonderful Lumi Cavazos, who roared on to my radar thanks to this film and Bottle Rocket.
Like Bridget Fonda and Phoebe Cates, she seems to have retired early, with no IMDB credits after 2005.
Cavazos is greatly missed, but hopefully happy in this stage of her life, and will always be appreciated for the films she left behind.
