- Reviewed in Canada on June 21, 2024Verified PurchaseExcellent story of friendship. An unhappy housewife visits a nursing home and unexpectedly meets Jessica Tandy. Eachtime she visits Tandy tells her a story o f Fried Green Tomatoes Restaurant and 2 female friends. Mary Louise Parker and Mary Stuart Masterson are childhood friends. Tragically Parker's brother dies in a train accident. Parker marries, her husband is abusive and Masterson takes Parker away. Cicely Tyson is a friend who helps cook in the restaurant. Parker's husband is a member of the KKK and whips a black friend of Masterson. He returns to get his wife and we think Masterson kills him. Later we find out Tyson has hit him, later we find that husband makes a good barbecue sauce as an ingredient. Masterson is out in trial for the murder but gets free due to the testimony of the minister. Parker has a son who gets in a train accident and loses his arm. Bates becomes a new woman as a result of interacting with Tandy. She Evan tells her husband she wants Tandy to stay with them. We see the forlorn cafe and Parker's gravestone. Love the story, love the cast. Special features, making of, delegated scenes and outtakes. 1991 and still relevant and touches heart and soul.

Apostel 13Reviewed in Germany on April 19, 2013
5.0 out of 5 stars Das Geheimnis liegt in der Soße...
Verified PurchaseEndlich...Gefühlskino pur...auf Blue-ray
Eine, eigentlich sogar zwei herzerwärmende Geschichten äußerst interessant erzählt. Der Film wird von genialen gutgelaunten Schauspielern und einem grandiosen Soundtrack getragen. Wer "The Help" mit Emma Stone oder "Die Farbe Lila" mit Whoopi Goldberg mag, wird diesen Film lieben.
Besitze bereits die DVD von Arthaus (1 Disc Version) mit einem sehr guten Bild und Dolby Digital Stereo. Bin gespannt, ob bei der Umsetzung auf HD noch eine Steigerung möglich ist. Leider sind auf der DVD nur wenige kurze Extras vorhanden (Interviews, Trailer, etc.).
Nachtrag nach Erscheinen der Blu-ray:
Natürlich musste ich mir auch die Blu-ray bestellen.
Nun zum Vergleich gegenüber der DVD:
Blu-ray: Director's Cut 136 Min (ca. 27 Mbps; 29,6 GB); Bildformat: 1920x1080p (1.78:1) @24 Hz; Ton: Deutsch DTS-HD MA 2.0 (ca. 967 kbps) Englisch DTS-HD MA 5.1
DVD: Kinofassung 125 Min (ca. 8 Mbps; 7,0 GB); Bildformat: 720x576 (1.85:1) @25Hz; Ton: Deutsch Dolby Digital 2.0 (ca. 192 kbps) Englisch Dolby Digital 2.0
Die Bildqualität konnte gegenüber der DVD nochmals zulegen. Schärfe und Details sind aufgrund der höheren Bildschirmauflösung gestiegen. Der Kontrast wurde gut ausbalanciert, die Farbgebung wurde natürlich belassen, der Schwarzwert geht in Ordnung - 4 Sterne.
Beim deutschen Ton (ein wunderbarer Score von Thomas Newman) bin ich nicht ganz so zufrieden, weil er nur in Stereo ist. Der Unterschied zur englischen 5.1 Tonspur ist allerdings marginal. Die Surrounds und Rears werden nicht einbezogen, ebenso wenig der Subwoofer. Insgesamt klingt der Ton aber kräftiger als auf DVD - max. 3 Sterne.
Untertitel sind nur in Deutsch vorhanden.
Der Director's Cut bietet 7 zusätzliche Szenen mit einer Laufzeit von ca. 6 Min, die allesamt den Film nicht vorwärts treiben und in meinen Augen nach einmaliger Sichtung zurecht geschnitten wurden. Sie wurden für die Blu-ray auch nicht nachsynchronisiert und stören eher durch das ständige Wechseln ins englische Originaltonformat mit deutschen Untertiteln. Die Möglichkeit, den Film in der Kinofassung in HD ohne diese zusätzlichen Szenen anzuschauen, gibt es leider nicht.
Alle Extras sind von der DVD übernommen worden: Fünf kurze Interviews in SD während des Drehs mit den Hauptdarstellern und Regisseur (insgesamt ca. 10 Min); deutscher und original Kinotrailer; weitere Trailer. Zusätzlich zur DVD gibts ein ca. 7 Min Featurette in SD: Jessica Tandy - Theaterlegende und Filmstar. Kannte ich schon von der Blu-ray "Miss Daisy und ihr Chauffeur". Insgesamt etwas mager. Kein Making Of oder aktuelle Interviews (20 Jahre danach).
Außerdem auf der Blu-ray: Die Kinofassung in SD. Die Qualität von Bild- und Tonformaten ist eins zu eins von der DVD übernommen worden. Somit ist auf der Blu-ray der komplette DVD-Inhalt enthalten.
Trotz der besseren Bild und Tonqualität hat mich die technische Umsetzung der Blu-ray nicht vollends überzeugen können. Wer die DVD hat muss nicht zwingend umsteigen.
Ein Wendecover ist vorhanden.
Da der Film aber immer wieder aufs Neue verzaubert und betört, kann und will ich keinen Stern abziehen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un clásico que vale la pena poseer
Verified PurchaseEsta es una de las películas que es prudente tener en copia física y así no depender de catálogos en línea (streaming) ni de búsquedas en Internet. Vale la pena para verla varias veces.

5.0 out of 5 stars L'amicizia (e non solo) nel profondo sud degli USA
Verified PurchaseUn film come ormai non se fa più (eppure non è COSI' vecchio! che tristezza...) un meraviglioso incrocio di storie, amicizia, amore, odio razziale e orgoglio femminile, visto attraverso gli occhi e la "fabula" di un'arzilla vecchietta (una fantastica Jessica Tandy) temporaneamente parcheggiata in una casa di riposo, che aiuta una repressa e alquanto sovrappeso donna di "quasi mezza-età" (una ancora più fantastica Kathye Bates) ad affrancarsi da un rapporto succube e remissivo nei confronti di un marito indifferente pigro, apatico, a prendere coscienza di sé e delle proprie qualità. La terapìa? Il racconto, di altre vicende, apparentemente lontane (nel tempo, ma non nello spazio come scopriremo) che legano altre due donne...
