We found our beautiful bed and breakfast in Saint Antonin Noble Val before we realized that it was the location chosen for the film, One Hundred Foot Journey. We had watched the film on one of the many long haul flights between Melbourne and the UK to visit parents. We love the film, a gentle feel-good film ideal for losing yourself for a couple of hours.
I'm not a big film watcher, much preferring a book. I think that books provide so much more detail for your imagination than films, although One Hundred Foot journey has become a firm favorite of mine.

It's also been a favorite of many of our guests who over the years have visited Saint Antonin Noble Val because of the film. Not only is the film sprinkled with fabulous scenes of St Antonin Noble Val, great actors but also a few Saint Antonin Noble Val locals as well.
Despite having seen the film many times, I have never read the book and I was curious to know whether the film was a true representation of the book by the same name written by journalist and novelist Richard C. Morais. Finally, as we settled into our quiet winter period, I was able to curl up, read the book and re-watch the film.
After binging on both, I was surprised how much the film deviated from the book. I wasn't expecting a full re-creation of the book, it would be impossible in a two hour film but there were big omissions that amazed me, especially as it had been reported that author Richard Morais had written his novel with a film in mind.
The book takes a circuitous route from Mumbai to London, through many European countries before arriving in Lumire, a small French village in the French Alps and then finally to Paris. In the book we also learn about the evolution of Indian and French food from impoverished rural India to the fusion of Indian and French food, fine French Cuisine and finally the creation of modern French cuisine.
Following migration from rural India, the story of the Haji family substantially begins in Mumbai with the establishment of family restaurant in a poor suburb to feed homesick soldiers during the second world war. Hassan, the second grandchild of Bapaji (who does not appear in the film) the founder of the original roadside shack is born above the restaurant. He recalls his childhood through the intoxicating whiffs of spicy fish curry, trips to the local markets, and gourmet outings with his mother.
Both the restaurant and the family grow over time to become a successful local landmark. After the death of Bapaji, political tensions result in family tragedy and forces them out of India. They settle first in Southall, London with distant family (the soggy egg sandwiches are a disappointment) then drive through Europe, before settling in Lumire, a small village in the French Alps, exhausted from travel and too much food.
Madame Mallory (Helen Miran) the head chef of Le Saule Pleuruer does everything she can to undermine the new restaurant just across the street. Eventually she comes to realize that Hassan (Manish Dayal), the son of the owner, Abbas (Om Puri) has a talent for cooking and offers him an apprenticeship at her restaurant to study French cooking.
After serving an apprenticeship under Chef Mallory, Hassan and one of his sisters move to Paris to set up their own very successful restaurant. It's at this point that the film deviates from the film again cutting Hassan's whole journey to Paris short which is an essential part of his story. His friendship with chefs and critics, built with he suspects the help of Madame Mallory, are completely omitted.
The purpose of the move to Paris was for Hassan to open his own restaurant but the film shows him working at a high-class restaurant in Paris, earning Michelin stars with them. This is a shame because the film would be more interesting if it had included the opening and operating of his own restaurant, as his grandfather had done in Mumbai. The lessons he learned from his own family's history, culture and his own natural talent contributed to Hassan (spoiler alert) becoming one of the greatest chefs in French cuisine.
Hassan earning his third Michelin star was not captured in the film. In the book, Hassan's sole purpose was to become a great chef, and to earn those Michelin stars to be classified as one of the top chefs in French cuisine. When Hassan eventually won his third star the book describes him walking out into the middle of his restaurant and seeing, slowly, everyone getting up and clapping for what he had achieved. This part in the novel was so descriptive that it was so easy to visualize and would have been a great ending to the film.
So, which is better, the book or the film? It depends. If you're looking for escape into a sugar sweet, feelgood story, then the film is for you. If you're a real foodie, or you like more character development than you usually get in a film then it's got to be the book. For me and unusually, I am going to sit on the fence and say that I love both for different reasons.

I grew up in a town 800 miles to the north. Mindanao, to me, feels like another country. As in the rest of the Philippines, 90 percent of the people here are Christians, but minority Muslims, or Moros, have been fighting a guerrilla war to turn Mindanao into an Islamic state. The Philippine government has resisted. Now they say their soldiers need Americas help to defeat the guerrillas.
[on camera] Today it was announced just as I got off the boat that the joint U.S. military exercises will be happening here in Jolo. And over here is one of the first messages youll see as you enter town.
[voice-over] The people here have always resisted outsiders. For three centuries, the Spanish colonizers were unable to subdue Mindanaos Muslims. A hundred years ago, when the United States drove the Spanish from the Philippines, the Americans succeeded in conquering Mindanao, but not before the Moros mounted a fierce and bloody resistance. In the Moro-American war, the U.S. massacred thousands of Muslims.
SINGER: [subtitles] The Americans are coming back again. They want to take back the Philippines. But the Muslims keep on waging war. The Americans do not follow the Divine Law. They will steal our independence.
ORLANDO DE GUZMAN: When the Americans first came here, Mindanao was almost entirely Muslim. The central government urged many Christian immigrants to settle here, and after World War II, Mindanao was formally annexed. Muslim rebels still insist all of Mindanao belongs to them, but the government says it cannot afford to lose resource-rich Mindanao. It supplies around half of the Philippines export revenue.
I arrived in March, as the Philippine government was conducting a major offensive. Peace talks had broken down. There were gun battles every day, and we heard news of an ongoing battle in the village of Baliki.
[on camera] The Philippine army is having to fight the MILF in places like this. The MILF is waging a classic guerrilla warfare. They come in, hit these villages hard. So what the army is trying to do is drive them out of here.
[voice-over] This day, the enemy remained elusive. In fact, the military seldom does more than keep the MILF at bay. At the end of the day, the villages are left back in the hands of armed civilians, at risk of being attacked again. Farmers work the fields armed with guns.
FARMER: [subtitles] Were scared. The MILF fire at us because they want us to leave our fields. It would be better if they only attacked the military, instead of civilians. We just want to earn a living. We dont want trouble.
ORLANDO DE GUZMAN: [voice-over] The conflict has also come to the cities. On April 2nd, a bomb exploded in the mostly Christian city of Davao. Sixteen people were killed. The government claimed the bombing was carried out by the MILF, with the help of Jemaah Islamiya, the group responsible for the Bali nightclub bombing. I arrived in Davao the day after the attack.
Muslims are also victims of violence. A few hours after the Davao bombing, unidentified men in fatigues attacked three nearby mosques with hand grenades. An imam told me that Muslims are suffering the most in this war. The numbers bear him out. While hundreds of Christians are driven from their villages by the MILF, tens of thousands of Muslims have fled their homes because of the military offensives.
They seek refuge in evacuation centers. Some refugees have been here for the last three years. They now number 320,000. Its a miserable life in these centers. Since February, 54 refugees have died of illness. Food is scarce.
I went along with these Muslim refugees as they returned to their homes to scavenge for crops theyd abandoned during the fighting. When we arrived, the village was still an active combat zone and troops patrolled the area for MILF rebels.
[on camera] So this area is still a very hostile place. The Philippine army officer here was telling these villagers not to venture out too far because the troops might mistake them for MILF rebels.
ORLANDO DE GUZMAN: [voice-over] Most of the homes were destroyed. Another man found his home vandalized by the military with anti-MILF graffiti. Most Muslims feel theyre at the mercy of the Philippine military. Although they wont say it openly, they view the MILF as a legitimate organization that defends their communities and their faith.
Through our contacts, I arranged for a meeting with the MILFs military chief. I grabbed my flak jacket. And my producer, Margarita Dragon, was told she was required to wear a head scarf. We set out on a journey to MILF-controlled territory.
