...Chinese-style dip of salt, star anise, cinnamon, ginger, coriander and nutmeg. Other revelations in flavor contrasts were the diced kidneys and sweetbreads sauteed with earthy mushrooms and the high-styled version of tete de cochon (pig's head), here with the meat boned, diced and pungent with parsley, shallots, ginger, coriander and lemon. The accompanying mashed potatoes have inspired critics to wax eloquent...
...squiggles and David Wojnarowicz's repulsive Attack of the Alien Minds, through the visual fatuities of Rodney Alan Greenblat and Jedd Garet, the biennial celebrated what its curators evidently took to be the mood of the moment: glitz, camp, childishness and art as fashion, served up with the usual parsley about "renewals" and "advances."

Michael Douglas plays the footloose fellow who helps her decipher the enigmas of her libido...
...relationship between the lovers. Dede and Nicole, provides a marvelous contract to the rest of Belleville. At one point we see Dede sneaking up to Nicole who is gobbling down some cake at a patisserie. "I am cooking leveret stuffed with pistachios, parsley, and a hint of garlic for dinner. "Two leverets," he protests. Baye and Leotard manage to make an incongruous relationship seem convincing and touching. The very thing that makes the couple so vulnerable to both the gangsters and the police alike, their mutual loyalty is at the some time, the only positive thing in the story...
