movie review - Eat Drink Man Woman

twenty-seven years and one million words
Toronto, 1997.01.25
This is a flick from Taiwan about a small family - a man and his three daughters. The movie is about the separation of the family as everyone finds someone to love. A kicker in the end, when the old boy marries the daughter of the old lady next door. The setting and the culture make for a change of pace, and the tale is certainly resonant for anyone who's left the nest or parents watching their kids do the same.
Recommended.
