Mondovino...oh and Dumplings

New Zealanders will finally get to see Jonathan Nossiter's film Mondovino.   The rest of the world saw it months ago. Here in New Zealand we must wait for a Film Festival  to see  anything a bit different from the usual Hollywood Blockbuster.

The only foodie film featured this year is Dumplings.  Now I'm tempted to see this but when the synopsis includes words like  "sick and twisted gem" I start to wonder that maybe my money could be better spent elsewhere.  If anyone has seen it please share your thoughts.
