Food. The very essence of life and as the adage goes, what is prevalent in
life is imitated in art. Celebrated actors and directors, gourmands and
gourmets alike, share their experiences of gastronomy and its portrayal in
art by director Anne Andreu.
This is a veritable film lover’s feast with interviews from Claude
Chabrol, Gérard Depardieu, Michel Piccoli, Jean-Claude Carrière, Wong
Kar-Wai, Ang Lee, Thomas Vinterberg. This film is also peppered with
images from celebrated cult films such as Renoir’s La Grande illusion,
Luis Bunuel’s Le Charme discret de la bourgeoisie, Ferreri’s La Grande
bouffe, as well as more recent international hits, such as In The Mood
For Love, Old Boy and Festen.
