Tomatoes are poisonous

About This Movie

So, 'Tomatoes are Poisonous' really dives into this curious slice of history. Set in the 17th century, it paints a stark picture of how tomatoes were shunned as deadly. The pacing is a bit deliberate, but it builds this wonderfully tense atmosphere as we follow this French painter. His struggle isn’t just against the fear of death, but also against societal norms. I found the practical effects to be quite interesting, especially how they represented the tomatoes visually—it really draws you in. The performances? They bring a rawness that feels authentic to the period. It’s not your typical drama; it’s a compelling exploration of desire and societal fear, all wrapped in this unique historical context.
