This is Les Blanks (lesblank) most gastronomically obsessional film portrait yet. An exhaustive, lip-smacking foray into the history, consumption, cultivation, and culinary and curative powers of allium sativum, the film lingers in the disparate kitchens of Chez Panisse and Flints Bar-B-Que in Berkeley, and Truckees paradise for lovers of the stinking rose, La Vieille Maison. Theres a piquant stop at the first Gilroy Garlic Festival, pertinent asides by Werner Ill eat my shoe Herzog, and performances of Cajun, French Provincial, Flamenco, Swiss Italian, Moroccan and Mexican music. -- Robert DiMatteo, San Francisco Bay Guardian
