Movie Reviews of Eat Drink Man Woman
Movie Review: very unusual piece of work
Summary: 5 Stars
Ang Lee's movie "Eat Drink Man Woman" is a unique story of a Taiwanese chef, who is a widower, and his three daughters who are struggling to find love while discovering themselves and connecting to each other in different ways. We get all the ingredients of the film from the beginning in the conversation of Chu with his friend from the restaurant when he emphasizes the formula of life - eat, drink, man, woman.
It is worth of watching and discovering something new about the Chinese/Taiwanese culture.
Summary of Eat Drink Man Woman
From celebrated director Ang Lee (The Ice Storm Sense and Sensibility) comes a movie so visually stunning that it spans the "beautiful balance of elements mellow harmonious and poignantly funny" (The Washington Post). This "charming study of love family and tradition" (Leonard Maltin) "tickles both mind and body" (Movie Reviews UK).Trouble is cooking for widower and master chef Chu (Sihung Lung) who's about to discover that no matter how dazzling and delicious his culinary creations might be they're no match for the libidinous whims of his three beautiful but rebellious daughters. A master in the kitchen Chu is at a loss when it comes to the ingredients of being a father. Every Sunday he whips up a delicacy of dishes for his ungrateful daughters who are so self-consumed that they don't see his attempt at showing them love gastronomically. So as relationships sour and communications break down Chu concocts a sure-fire recipe that will bring his family back together: He creates his own love affair to rival his daughters' affections! Genre: FOREIGN/LATIN UPC: 027616867858 Manufacturer No: 1002584This is not a movie to see on an empty stomach. Writer-director Ang Lee's 1994 Oscar nominee tells a family story about a chef and his three daughters through the meals the chef prepares and serves his family. This touching, dryly funny story of a family coping with personal lives and the way those lives intersect with the family relationships captures a shift in generations in Taipei. The father, a famous chef who has lost his taste buds, still cooks, though he draws no pleasure from eating. His daughters, meanwhile, deal with both the disappointments and surprises of daily living and the way their adult lives compare to the expectations the widowed father had for them. A subtle, amusing--and mouth-watering--comedy of impeccable manners. --Marshall Fine
