Movie Reviews of Eat Drink Man Woman
Movie Review: Unforgetable lesson in family bond
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this movie 9 years ago while spending a semester abroad. Everytime I see this movie-and I have mulitple times since my first viewing-I think back to that most amazing and incredible time in my life. Most importantly I am reminded of the unshakable family bond that exists but is never really communicated amongst all families. I love the dynamics of this family because they are indeed a real family experiencing the ups and downs of real life. I loved how much I-a Puerto Rican living in America-related to a Chinese family. The movie is a great testament that regardless of who you are or where you come from we are human and we are share in the life experiences that being a human means. The movie brought tears, laughs and unexpected gratitude for my family's own misgivings.
Summary of Eat Drink Man Woman
From celebrated director Ang Lee (The Ice Storm, Sense and Sensibility) comes a movieso visually stunning that it spans the "beautiful balance of elementsmellow, 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 forwidower 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 lovegastronomically.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!This 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
