Thursday, November 18, 2010, 11:30am in the Student Life Center, Paramount Lounge and at 7:00 pm (Location TBA) Foreign Film Thursday:Eat Drink Man Woman (Chinese). Every Sunday, venerable chef Chu (Sihung Lung) prepares an elaborate dinner for his three lovely daughters. Despite Chu’s exotic dishes, the family barely nibbles at the food. The listless mealtime ritual mirrors the foursome’s general lack of appetite for life: Chu has lost his sense of taste, and his daughters just want to go on with their separate, lonely lives. But something new is cooking that is about to spice up everyone’s existence, and three marriages and a funeral later, the Chu family will learn to embrace life’s unpredictability. Post film discussion moderated by Assistant Professor Alex Idavoy. Lincroft showing is free and open to the public. Sponsored by Student Life and Activities and the International Education Center.
