Father cooks best

Yin shi nan nu (Eat Drink Man Woman)

(1994)
An affecting, if somewhat formulaic, saga of an emotionally repressed widower and his master-chef skills that keep his three grown daughters at home. One of the truly gorgeous food movies, and probably an unwise choice for the night before I'm cooking for guests myself.

By University of Illinois film school product Ang Lee. A close call whether to deaccession or not, but I decided yes--and then discovered I can stream it from Netflix anyway. So . . . a taker?
