饮食男女(yǐn shí nán nǚ)directed by 李安 (Ang Lee) (1994)



The film features numerous scenes displaying the technique and artistry of gourmet Chinese cuisine. Since the family members have difficulty expressing their love for one another, the intricate preparation of banquet quality dishes for their Sunday dinners serves as a surrogate for the spoken expression of their familial feelings.

  1. 饮食男女 in pinyin is "yǐnshí nánnǚ". Please, if possible, add the pinyin translitteration for better comprehension.
