ESSAYS IN NOSTALGIA

Salted pumpkin seeds — cinephile’s nutritional obsessions

A respected and popular contemporary novelist, Goran Tribuson, in a humorous tone gives an nostalgic recollection of his teenage filmgoer’s experiences from the »nutritional« point of view, namely through anecdotes connected with the consumption of food before, during and after the film shows. E. g. he recollects his obese friend, Zumzo, who could not watch movies without eating, always complaining not to be able to bring rich enough lunch packet with him to last him the whole course of a movie. He used to be furious at the films that were too long for his nutritional reserves. Tribuson then anecdotically goes through the whole list of food items connected with cinemagoing: salted pumpkin seeds, tattooed cakes, iron hard candies, first chewing gums, and finally, the whole course of meals prepared by Zumzo for watching films now on video at home, the best films being now those that last as long as possible.
