Quite simply, this is a film not to be missed, while it's still shown in theaters in its essential 3-D format.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This film is a wannabe David-Lynch film. Great idea but poorly executed, I can only think what it would have been like in the hands of a film-maker who truly understood myth and psychology and had the technique to pull it off.
Ingmar Bergman where are you?

Huge disappointment

I agree with the review about the absurd twist in this movie. There was no motivation shown in the character of the upper-class wife twho falls for a cook who appeared so blank. We are supposed to see this film as a heating up of a cold marble-like woman into a sensous lover who is overcome by the world of taste and smell and sex and nature and love; but it plays instead as a movie about a cipher of a woman who is malignantly narcissisitc who falls for a cipher. Her decision to tell her husband of her lover at her son's funeral was almost laughable if it hadn't been so cruel and self-involved and mean-spirited. I lost any interest in her after that and agreed with the husband's condemnation of her. The idea of her daughter as approving of her breaking boundaries as she had with her lesbian lover was also cliched and might appear sophisticated if you were from, say, Indiana. Nice photography, but too mannered.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
