Culinary Cinema: 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny'

Overview

Cue John Williams' rousing score: Indiana Jones is cracking the whip again. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny marks Harrison Ford's return to the titular role a whopping 42 years after Raiders of the Lost Ark, 39 since Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and 34 since Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade — and 15 years after Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.

This time, he has Fleabag favourite Phoebe Waller-Bridge for company, but still a trinket to hunt down and Nazis to fend off. And, whether you're keen to see the movie on the day it hits general release or in the nights afterwards, your tastebuds can also have company via a three-course menu inspired by the picture.

That's what Village Cinemas is serving up around Melbourne on three evenings: Wednesday, June 28; Friday, June 30; and Saturday, July 1. For $120, which includes your Gold Class ticket to the film, you'll tuck into bites with New York, Moroccan and Sicilian influences — all settings in the movie.

Start off a pretzel with honey mustard, washing it down with either a glass of sparkling wine or Brooklyn lager. Next comes a New Moroccan grilled spiced chicken burger with chips, plus a glass of either red or white wine. And then for dessert, enjoy chocolate and custard cannoli, all while sipping either a Sicilian negroni or an Aperol spritz.
