What can movies and TV shows teach us about food? How do scenes on screen capture the heart of a nation’s cuisine, its traditions, and its identity? In this Watch & Talk club, Emmanuel, an award-winning film and TV director, live in Paris, will guide us through an exploration of food as seen through film. Together we’ll watch scenes from The Founder, Flavourful Origins, and more, discovering how cinema reveals not only the art of cooking but also the stories behind what we eat.
Emmanuel is not only a filmmaker but also a passionate food lover, and he's from France, while you're from China. So this discussion will bridge what are arguably the world's two most important culinary traditions: French and Chinese! We’ll talk about the origins of food, eating habits, and cuisine types, while reflecting on what our cultures can learn from each other. Let’s sit back with good friends and watch scenes from movies and TV shows that take us on a delicious voyage. And, of course, let’s have a deep, fun, and intelligent discussion about our mutual cinematic journey!
电影和电视剧能教会我们什么关于食物的事?镜头下的美食场景,是怎么展现一个国家的饮食文化、传统和身份认同的?在这场“看片+聊天”的观影俱乐部里,来自巴黎、曾获得多个奖项的影视导演 Emmanuel 会带我们一起,通过电影镜头来探索“食物”这件事背后的文化和故事。
这次我们会一起看《大创业家》(The Founder)、《风味原产地》(Flavourful Origins)等经典片段,聊聊电影如何不仅记录烹饪的艺术,也讲述那些关于食物的背后故事。
Emmanuel 本人不仅是导演,也是个超级吃货。他来自法国,而你来自中国,所以这场讨论也像是中法两大美食文化的双向奔赴!我们会一起聊食物的起源、不同的饮食习惯和菜系风格,也思考下彼此文化之间能从对方那里学到什么。
和朋友们一起放松地看电影、看剧,再开启一段美味又有趣的交流之旅。当然,我们还会认真又轻松地聊聊这些片子给我们的启发,一起享受这段关于电影和美食的奇妙旅程!
