The movie "Como Agua Para Chocolate"(Like Water For Chocolate) and the book of the same title are so exact, I relived the movie reading the book. Unfortunately, I do not know which was written first. Does it make a difference? The movie was a gem, and if you haven't seen it, what on earth are you waiting for? ***** two thumbs way up.

Another, I don't know if you can find it on video, but well worth the time to watch itHi, Musick"Solo Y Caminando Por la Calle" A film noire jewel from the Golden Age of Mexican Ciné. Buen provecho.
