Red or Green: Hot or Mild

About This Movie

So, 'Red or Green: Hot or Mild' is this intriguing little documentary from 1991 that dives deep into the New Mexican food scene. Produced by Gary Worth and food-writer Sunny Conley, it’s not your typical food show. The pacing is relaxed, almost meandering, which perfectly suits the subject matter. You get to visit various restaurants and grab a glimpse of the culinary culture in New Mexico and even a side trip to Palomas, Mexico. It’s all about the vibrant world of Chile – the spicy, the mild, and everything in between. The practical effects are pretty much just the food itself, but there's something special about how they capture the essence of local flavors. It’s distinctive, for sure, especially if you have an appreciation for regional cuisine and cultural explorations.
