Fagara (2019)
6/10
Fills the tummy and heart
16 December 2020
'Fagara' would've been stronger without the occasional over-acting but it pulled heartstrings and delivered smiles the way a melodrama should.

Three adult sisters with a father in common, two from Taiwan and one from Hong Kong, get to know each other when he dies.

Because the colour of warmth is food, the setting is his small restaurant that's famous for a hotpot soup whose recipe they can't quite figure out.

My biggest takeaway is thousands of years of Asian culture outpaces anything my South Africa has to offer. I'm damn hungry now. I'm literally salivating as I think of those bubbling frying pans on the customers tables. I've conveniently excluded the fact that all those spices in a small room would unite with my asthma to kill me. I'll give my life for a happy tongue. I'll get famous as the Kamikaze Tummy.
