Product Description:
From celebrated director Ang Lee (The Ice Storm Sense and Sensibility) comes a movie so visually stunning that it spans the "beautiful balance of elements mellow harmonious and poignantly funny" (The Washington Post). This "charming study of love family and tradition" (Leonard Maltin) "tickles both mind and body" (Movie Reviews UK).Trouble is cooking for widower and master chef Chu (Sihung Lung) who's about to discover that no matter how dazzling and delicious his culinary creations might be they're no match for the libidinous whims of his three beautiful but rebellious daughters. A master in the kitchen Chu is at a loss when it comes to the ingredients of being a father. Every Sunday he whips up a delicacy of dishes for his ungrateful daughters who are so self-consumed that they don't see his attempt at showing them love gastronomically. So as relationships sour and communications break down Chu concocts a sure-fire recipe that will bring his family back together: He creates his own love affair to rival his daughters' affections!

Amazon.com essential video:
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

Eat Drink Man Woman is full of humor, wisdom, and grace. I love to watch this film. I always suggest that you eat a full meal before you watch this motion picture. The savory dishes created by the father who is a chef in a major hotel in Taipei, Taiwan makes your mouth water and your glands salivate. I want to be in this film and enjoy a meal with the master chef. You will laugh and notice the wisdom of this wonderful motion picture. I only wonder what it would be like if I understood Mandarin. ... Read More

Ang Lee is a superb director who has captured family dynamics in modern day China. Whether you are a China expert or just starting to learn about the culture, this is a great way to experience the internal life of an atypical Chinese family. The story will captivate you, the ending will be a surprise.

I had seen this movie in the theatre - and it had English sub-titles, However, the DVD I received did not have English sub-titles and I don't speak, or understand, Chinese. I returned it and expect a full credit - unless there is a version with English sub-titles, then I will accept an exchange.

I first saw this movie 9 years ago while spending a semester abroad. Everytime I see this movie-and I have mulitple times since my first viewing-I think back to that most amazing and incredible time in my life. Most importantly I am reminded of the unshakable family bond that exists but is never really communicated amongst all families. I love the dynamics of this family because they are indeed a real family experiencing the ups and downs of real life. I loved how much I-a Puerto Rican living in ... Read More

I watched Eat Drink to compare it with Tortilla Soup. The screenplay of Tortilla Soup (2001) is based on Eat Drink (1994). If you are tempted to see Eat Drink--STOP yourself, and watch Tortilla Soup instead! Tortilla Soup is a fun, delightful comedy drama (dramedy?) Eat Drink is a heavy, boring drama. Tortilla Soup has lively, colorful characters that are fun and enjoyable to watch. They have personalities. Tortilla Soup's characters have chemistry with each other that pulls you into their world. ... Read More
