Читать книгу Eat What You Watch: A Cookbook for Movie Lovers - Andrew Rea - Страница 19

Pastry is put to nefarious work in one of the many scenes that won Christoph Waltz his well-deserved Oscar. Playing Colonel Hans Landa, he uses food as a means of torture when he intimidates Shosanna, a young Jewish theater owner. She is to eat her strudel exactly as he instructs (“attendez la crème”). Murder and war crimes take a backseat when the flaky confection is finally eaten: a satisfying plop as the whipped cream is doled out, an audible crunch emanating from the layers of pastry and butter, and the sounds of our hearts breaking as Hans plunges a cigarette into his dessert.
