'The Woman in the Window' delayed again

by Murtada Elfadl

Remember the 2018 Oscars? Amy Adams was nominated for Vice and there was a time early in the season when we talked about the possibility of her winning because of the 6 nominations that she had amassed so far. That was of course before the Golden Globes when Regina King won for If Beale Street Could Talk on her way to the Oscar podium. Even then some said well King isn't nominated for SAG, Adams is bound to win there and start her narrative, Emily Blunt won for A Quiet Place, and at BAFTA Rachel Weisz won for The Favourite. Then we all looked at what’s next for Amy. For sure that would be her Oscar vehicle. Adams has given many great performances and is an actress who deserves to have an Oscar on her mantle.

The film follows New Yorker Julie Powell in 2002, challenging herself to make every recipe in Julia Child’s famous cookbook “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” while simultaneously chronicling Child’s start of her cooking profession in 1950’s France. I saw this film for the first time in theatres when it premiered back in August 2009 and thank God I had a large popcorn and Buncha Crunch by my side because otherwise I would’ve died of starvation.

Without a doubt, this is my favorite food film ever. It lets a legend and a regular person share the spotlight while paralleling each other through their obsession and love of good French food. This film inspired an interest in the culinary arts for this then 14-year-old me. I decided to make more food for myself (instead of just relying on my mom)...
