Description

Eat Drink Man Woman (1994). This was the third film in director Ang Lee’s “father trilogy” that launched his career as a Taiwan filmmaker — from New York! It the only one to be set in Taipei (the two previous movies were set in the U.S.) The plot concerns an widowed master chef Mr. Chu (Shing Lung, carried over from Lee’s The Wedding Banquet) who has decided to retire and looks after his three daughters and cooks them fantastic Sunday dinners, which become the narrative pivot for what at turns is a comedy and family drama – and the source of the film’s famous culinary spectacles.
