About this item
Product Description
From the Executive Producers of 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi' comes a unique film about food, society and culture on the island of Cuba.
After a decade living in the United States, filmmaker Asori Soto returns to his homeland of Cuba to search for the missing flavors of his childhood - a journey to discover culinary traditions long thought lost due to the hardship that Cuba survived after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Soto embarks on a road-trip adventure all around the island, visiting regions so remote that you can only arrive by raft, horseback, or swimming. His journey will leave your mouth watering as we go from the middle of nowhere to the cities in order to rediscover the culinary roots of an exciting Cuba in a time of change.
Review
"Eye-opening...mouth-watering! Made with an archivist's heart and a gourmand's soul, 'Cuban Food Stories' chronicles director Asori Soto's road trip around the island of his birth, searching for the flavors of his youth and the stories behind the distinctive (and sometimes disappearing) tastes of regional cuisines. Soto, a longtime U.S. resident, captures his native country at a time of transition and smartly probes the relationship between culinary traditions and cultural heritage...he imbues his film with a hand-crafted charm that perfectly suits the stories and foods he focuses on." --Variety
"If it can do for Cuban food what Jiro did for sushi, the island could have a cult of hungry Americans arriving as soon as they're legally allowed." --Food & Wine
"A gorgeous love letter to the people and country of Cuba...a real triumph overall." --Film Threat
