From TPD:
During the following month, you are invited to film screenings themed on world’s cuisines every Friday. All food lovers are welcome to come, enjoy movies and explore the culinary world with us.
In the 1st week, let’s enjoy the film screening of “Eat Drink Man Woman” directed by Ang Lee, his first work after coming back from the US.
EAT DRINK MAN WOMAN is a 1994 Taiwanese film directed by Ang Lee and starring Sihung Lung, Yu-wen Wang, Chien-lien Wu, and Kuei-mei Yang. The film was released on August 3, 1994, the first of Lee’s films to be both a critical and box office success.
In 1994, the film received the Asia Pacific Film Festival Award for Best Film, and in 1995 it received an Academy Award Nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.
Many of the cast members had appeared in Ang Lee’s previous films. Sihung Lung and Ah Lei Gua played central elderly figures dealing with the transition from tradition to modernity in ‘The Wedding Banquet’, in which Winston Chao also starred. Sihung Lung played an immigrant father in ‘Pushing Hands’.
These three films show the tensions between the generations of a Confucian family, between East and West, and between tradition and modernity. They form what has been called Lee’s ‘Father Knows Best’ trilogy.
