The TVI Take

Ang Lee's 1994 Taipei-set film about a widowed master chef and his three adult daughters. The structural commitment to letting Sunday family dinner scenes (the elaborately-staged food-preparation sequences) be the actual subject is canonical Lee-as-Taiwanese-cinema-bridge work, among the most-influential 1990s Asian films in American distribution.
