Meals on Reels – A Season of Food Movies

01 and 29 Oct 2013, 6.30 pm
Hanoi Cooking Centre Rooftop Cinema

From the organizer:

Now the balmy and dry autumn nights are upon us, welcome to an open air cinema every first and last Tuesday of the month. October kicks off with two films about sibling rivalry in the kitchen.

On October 1, we will show Big Night (USA, 1996). Two brothers, volatile chef Primo and smooth talking restaurant manager Secondo, try to save their failing Italian restaurant by putting on a special dinner concert. Featuring sharp dialogue and a cracker soundtrack, this movie is a real treat.

Eat, Drink, Man, Woman (Taiwan, 1994) by Oscar-winning director Ang Lee (Life of Pi) on October 29 charts the love lives of three very different sisters and revolves around huge Sunday night dinners prepared by their father, a widowed senior chef. A classic of the genre with great characters and sumptuous food photography (don’t miss the opening scene!).

Entry is free.
