Eat Drink Man Woman (1994)
Director: Ang Lee
It was a the second Ang Lee movie in succession; and it didn’t disappoint me one wee bit. Chinese/Taiwanese family living in Taipei and their brush with modernity has been so well captured. And the elaborate cooking rituals have been a delight. As you might have guessed, there is a lot of storytelling that happens through the food/cooking. There is a point where, one of the family member says, a lot of families talk, but for us it is through food (or something to that effect). Also, my memories are in my nose.
The story has an unexpected twist towards the climax, and it was a great movie to watch.
