Another film from Ang Lee, completely in Chinese with subtitles. A film about family and food. It will make you want to go mid-movie to an oriental restaurant, cuisine as art. A widower living with his three adult daughters are all learning about the love of family and the search for deeper friendships and romance. There are funny parts, and sad parts, but most importantly these people are real, they have character, and they learn how to see with the heart. The question is how do we really know and love at the same time? Our brokenness and desires cloud our minds from true understanding, and our desires are filled with fear of the risk of really loving. This is the struggle to be fully human.
