A Feast for the Eves

A Feast for the Eyes: representations of food in cinema
Food and the actions that surround it (procuring, preparing, consuming, communal sharing) are essential for life and have always been used in art and literature to fulfill emotional, visual, intellectual, and narrative functions. We will focus on how food and eating acquire and provide cultural meanings through cinema. We will watch films where food plays a central role, read critical essays about cinema, and write several pieces analyzing relevant cinematic texts. Our goal is to understand how cinema constructs our understanding of something as concrete and indispensable as food
