Tuyo feels like an offering to Miamians; perhaps that is why the name translates to "yours". Tuyo's location, on the top floor of a Miami· Dade College building, offers an amazing view through the wall of floor -to-ceiling windows of the north end of city skyline and Biscayne Bay beyond. Indeed, as soon as the elevator do'ors open on the top floor, we were are greeted by the Freedom Tower lit up in red and the mega screen on the AAA flashing Let's Go Heat. In contrast to all that flash, Tuyo's decor is stark and monochromatic' with sleek wood floors made of reclaimed logs found in Lake Michigan and lacquered 3 -D waves of wood on the ceiling. Overall, the simplicity of the decor allowed us to appreciate the view that much more. So the view is spectacular and the decor is cool, but nothing compares to the food. That is where Chef Norman really shows off. First, he displays his commitment to fresh local ingredients and

produce from an onsite gar· den and from local farmers. Then, he uses high quality ingredients in ~ a complex fu­ sion of Peruvian and Cuban influences, a touch of Asian, and the Floribbean cuisine that made him so famous .

IN MY OPINION

Fabiola Santiago

At these films~ keep:your

-mouth shut y apologies to Don ~cL:an for borrow­ mg hls famous line, . but I remember the day the venerable Miami Film Festival died. Popcorn killed what for me and other devotees of artful ~ineina was like a religious experience. I had bought back-to-back tickets for two movies showing at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts, and was on my second mm, a gorgeously photographed Yugoslavian production that unfolded in slow-paced frames and cryptic dialogue, when I heard a crunching sound behind me. 1 turned to fmd the man behind me - so close his knees were almost touching my neck - munching on popcorn. Crunch, crunch, crunch ... where the only sounds should have been the classical score of the fIlm and the dialogue. Adios, precious silence, I've never heard you since. . With the move in the late 1990s to allow popcorn at this last refuge of civility, the unique film festival Natalio Chediak launched in 1984, the' days of watching a film in peace in South Florida ended. Silence was out, rudeness in.

M

I'm not bringing this up at the kickoff of the expanded and otherwise meritorious Miami International Film Festival, which opens Friday and runs through March in various the­ aters, to sound like the old fogey that I'm becoming, but to ask, beg, plead with patrons to . leave your connectivity and your tongue outside theater

doors.

. With 100 fUms from 35 coun­

tries showing during its 29th

edition, that's a lot of opportu­

nity for the jittery, munching,

slurping crowd to act up. _

·So let's make it simple: Stop texting, taking phone calls, talking to each other. Please don't update your status, don't tylreet your loca­ tion and yoUr thoughts about ­ th~ flllll - not even you. mem­ bers of the media. If your kid is sick, stay at home. Don't take that phone call And stop it with the noisy popcorn. Whatever happened to din­ ner and a movie? Eat first, watch later. In art fUms, every frame, every word counts. Lovers of the art form watch in patient, reverent silence because the reward is an in­ timate wmdow into worlds unknown, the kind of sub­ stantive, enlightening and sometimes transformative 'experience that popular Holly­ wood movies seldom provide. _Who can forget the lovely silence that enveloped the Gusman, in pre-popcorn days, as Carlos Saura's documentary Flamenco made it feel as if the • TURN TO SANTIAGO, 28

dancers were golls -poW1d­ mg the floor, as if their dance were a conve!'sation with us? But these days, the ring­ ing and flashing phones, the text messaging, the p osting of status updates

and de\Ter Twitter lines, and the obnoxious con­ versations are killing our fine arts experien ce. Those of us who go to countless cultural events where we pay good money to listen - really listen are sick of the noise and the rude distractions.

I spent the inaugural season of the Florida Grand Opera at what was then called the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts hearing the man be­ hind me interpret the op­ era for his wife. I could hear him better than I could hear the performers.

I changed seats and upgraded to the orchestra sect.ion - only to spend one of my favorite operas hearing the guy sitting next to me humming along to Mozart! What's the matter with you people? Yes, you, the one who

has to hear her/his witty self all night long. No one ever thinks they're the ones being rude. But you've even been my date, and that's right, it's over, dear. There won't be another because you don't shut up.
