M. Chu est le plus grand chef cuisinier de Taipei. Veuf depuis seize ans, il élève seul ses trois filles : Jen, professeur de chimie à la religiosité exacerbée, Kien, séduisante businesswoman qui rêve de prendre son indépendance, et Ning, jeune étudiante qui travaille dans un fast-food. La vie de la famille Chu est réglée par ces rituels immuables que sont les repas, préparés avec une minutie extrême par le père. Renfermé et peu loquace, la cuisine est pour lui la seule façon de communiquer... (Carlotta Films)

I’m not at all surprised that Ang Lee with his directorial skills has risen to the position among the leading non-American directors shooting in Hollywood. Even in his first films that were shot in Taiwan with the USA support, it is apparent how skillful he already was. However, I had some reservations about this film that were really hard to ignore. On the one hand, we have an old man here, the chef Chu, who is the master of the knives and shows skills that are out of this world above the bamboo board. And on the other hand, we have his three daughters, who have problems with their partners, but also with their father, so there are some exemplary relationship twists that you can read about in any chick lit. Luckily, Mr. Chu is such a brilliant character that the actor Sihung Lung had to really put a piece of himself into the character. He shows emotion, is honest in life and a genius in the kitchen. The Chinese cuisine has never looked as interesting and tasty as in this film. It was a pleasure to watch the culinary art of Mr. Chu, who was probably indisputably happy that he could pass it onto future generations in the form of this film.
