After seeing this movie yesterday I realized...


that Adele really likes to eat spaguetti. Most of the scenes in which she's eating, there's spaguettis. Excepting the time she met Emma's mother and father-in-law, that she ate oysters (how poetic for a lesbian tale).

Spaghetti was suppose to represent Adele's humble middle class life. Oysters, a supposedly more exotic and sophisticated food, are suppose to symbolise Emma's wealthy, bourgeois background. Two different worlds.

Agreed ,,,I was very hungry throughout the film
