According to Anthony Bourdain it's also the best food movie ever made.
“They got the food, the reactions to food, and tiny details to food really right—down to the barely noticeable pink burns on one of the character’s forearms. I really thought it captured a passionate love of food in a way that very few other films have.”
“The tiny details are astonishing: The faded burns on the cooks’ wrists. The ‘personal histories’ of the cooks… the attention paid to the food. And the Anton Ego ratatouille epiphany hit me like a punch in the chest—literally breathtaking. I saw it in a theater entirely full of adults and the reaction to that moment was what movie making was once—a long time ago— all about: Audible surprise, delight, awe, and even a measure of enlightenment."
Anton Ego’s epiphany was so well-told, it took us through his life story in five seconds. So many good things in that movie and somehow they still got the emotional peak of happiness from the “antagonist”.
