Terrific Ang Lee film, the best movie ever about or with cooking. A traditional Taiwanese cook spend all day Sundays cooking a family dinner for his three daughters, who grudingly stick with this family tradition, while discussing their problems and dreams. The attention cook Sihung Lung gives to each dish is only topped by the cinematography - you can practially smell and taste the food. This film helped put Lee (Crouching Tiger, Sense and Sensibility, The Ice Storm, Brokeback Mountain) on the map worldwide. Great cinematography, expert filmmaking, touching without sentimentality.
