| This is by the same director who did "The Wedding Banquet" (see note
321). I enjoyed "Eat Drink Man Woman" very much - nice
characterizations, lots of humor, spectacular food shots [if you see
this before you've eaten you're likely to spend the whole movie
drooling], and some very moving family-relationship scenes. Definitely
recommended.

| Another recommendation for this movie, which has been
held over for another week at Wilton NH. It is very
rewarding to see a movie stake out its visual and
emotional territory and then explore it with skill
and compassion. EDMW is put together with the same
care as one of Master Chef Chu's dishes. It's the
lapidary quality of the movie's structure that really
gives the frequent suprises their kick.
And even though we'd eaten before seeing the film,
I spent most of the 2+ hours trying to resist the
impulse to run out for Chinese food.

| The wife and I saw this Saturday at the Wilton Theatre. It was sold out;
we got the last two regular seats, right in the front row. They brought
in some extra chairs to accommodate a few more patrons, but some folks
still got shut out.
It was a good movie. My wife REALLY liked it. Plus, she guessed most of
the surprises ahead of time, including the big one.

No argument with any of the previous replies - this was a very
enjoyable film. A nice blend of melodramatic and humour.
Some credits and details not mentioned in the previous replies:
The movie is Taiwanese in Mandarin, directed by Ang Lee (1994) and
takes place in Taipeh.

| I rented this movie over the weekend and simply loved it. I am
fond of foreign films so I was pleased to see this one on the shelf.
As previous noters mentionned, one of the main characters, Mr. Chu,
father of the three daughters, is a Master Chef. He pretty well
cooks throughout the film. On Sunday, I happened to be in the Chinese
district of our city... so that's what I made for supper.
I was happy with this rental.
