About The Book

Culinary imagery much like sexual and violent imagery is a key cinematic device used to elicit a sensory response from an audience. In many films culinary imagery is central enough to define a new subgenre defined by films in which food production preparation service and consumption play a major part in the development of character structure or theme. This book defines the food film genre and analyzes the relationship between cinematic food imagery and various cultural constructs including politics family identity race ethnicity nationality gender and religion. Chapters examine these themes in several well-known food films such as The Cook The Thief His Wife and Her Lover Chocolat Babette''s Feast and Eat Drink Man Woman and lesser-known productions including Felicia''s Journey Kitchen Stories Magic Kitchen and Chinese Feast. The work includes a filmography of movies within the food genre.
