Jon Avnet: Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)


The year 1991 seemed to be really great year in American movie. Many fine films were released in that year. One of those was (little surprisingly) 'Fried Green Tomatoes' (1991) directed by Jon Avnet. Story of an unhappy middle-aged woman who becomes a friend of even older woman is not a film that you (= thirty something heterosexual man) could think to love.

The movie is a little mysterious story of two strong women who live in South, Alabama. It has flashbacks in a wonderful way to open the story more and more. There are the question of woman and abusive husband, young death, friendship and love. All that but the movie is not too sweet. It makes you think, it touches you and it makes you laugh.
