Food Movies We Love: A Walk in the CloudsPosted Jun 8th 2006 12:08PM by Anne MetzFiled under: Food Oddities, AmericaThe tagline for A Walk in the Clouds tells it all: "A man in search. A woman in need. A story of fate." Well, almost. What the tagline doesn't tell you is that this Keanu Reeves vehicle is -- like reader favorites Big Night, Mystic Pizza, Moonstruck and The God of Cookery -- a food movie.Keanu plays Paul Sutton, a man returning from World War II. He encounters Victoria (in case it's not totally obvious, she's the film's female romantic interest), who is pregnant, unmarried and en route to facing her father. Our hero Keanu volunteers to pretend to be her husband ...Soon, Paul and Victoria develop feelings for each other. This came as a total shock to me.So why is this a food movie? Well, because Victoria's dad is a vintner, of course! His vineyard is called "Las Nubes" ("The Clouds" -- the mysterious title is thankfully now explained!), and the final scene -- in which Paul explains his love for Victoria to her angry father -- includes the greatest vineyard fire scene in all of cinematic history.
