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.
