This is not a movie to see on an empty stomach. Writer-director Ang Lee's 1994 Oscar nominee tells a family story about a chef and his three daughters through the meals the chef prepares and serves his family. This touching, dryly funny story of a family coping with personal lives and the way those lives intersect with the family relationships captures a shift in generations in Taipei. The father, a famous chef who has lost his taste buds, still cooks, though he draws no pleasure from eating. His daughters, meanwhile, deal with both the disappointments and surprises of daily living and the way their adult lives compare to the expectations the widowed father had for them. A subtle, amusing--and mouth-watering--comedy of impeccable manners. --Marshall Fine

This enchanting movie, "Eat Drink Man Woman", is one for which you should break the rule of "No Subtitled Movies" See it first before watching its companion re-make "Tortilla Soup." Both will be ones you'll watch over and over. They have you covered if you like food movies. They've gotcha if you like more relationship plots than explosions. And you might also like to see old-timers Requel Welch and Hector Elizondo at work.
Highly Recommended We've watched both six times each.

Ang Lee's movie "Eat Drink Man Woman" is a unique story of a Taiwanese chef, who is a widower, and his three daughters who are struggling to find love while discovering themselves and connecting to each other in different ways. We get all the ingredients of the film from the beginning in the conversation of Chu with his friend from the restaurant when he emphasizes the formula of life - eat, drink, man, woman.
It is worth of watching and discovering something new about the Chinese/Taiwanese culture.

This is about the fourth or fifth "food" movie I've seen. When I first heard of the genre, I wondered who ever came up with such a ridiculous idea. However, I now understand that it is like a movie with great art, or costumes, or scenery, or music. The food is truly an attractive addition. However, they'd all be just another episode of the Galloping Gourmet if the movie itself wasn't worthwhile. "Eat Drink Man Woman" has a nice, family-oriented (sorry) story to tell and it tells it well. I also enjoyed the Chinese setting but I was confused about all the goings on until I heard someone mention Taipei. Then I realized why all the Capitalism was so abundant. I'm not sure I'd seen another Taiwanese movie but, after this one, I'd be willing to watch another. The story of friendship, familial love and respect, and the challenges of the world around us blend together very well in "Eat Drink Man Woman". It's as good a recipe as the food we wish we were eating. The intended irony about "Eat Drink Man Woman" is that there really is SO much more. Feast your eyes on this one; it's well worth it.

This movie takes the place of a great classic in my collection. it is an excellent story with well rounded characters that really live while you are watching the film. The actors all did an professional job of relating a simple story into a family epic of which any culture can relate.
