Ang Lee went on to become one of the world’s great directors for films as varied as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Brokeback Mountain. He introduced himself to the world with this Chinese-language gem, the Oscar-nominated Eat Drink Man Woman (1994). Food as creativity, tradition, eros and caring are all treated in succulent visuals. Along with whetting appetites, Eat Drink Man Woman is a poignant family comedy of three daughters and their controlling master chef father.
