"These portraits of Arvida are an early collaboration. They were taken in my friend Issy’s house in London a few years ago. They’re a Věra Chytilová-inspired exploration of forgotten treasures that you might find under layers of cobwebs in the attic, or at the back corner of a flea market."

Feast your eyes on a buffet of some of cinema’s most sumptuous banquets, a smorgasbord of lip-smacking delicacies that delight in the sensual pleasures and social rituals of eating. Start with a bowl of lusciously slurpable ramen in the freewheeling Japanese satire TAMPOPO, then tuck into couscous so fragrant it practically wafts off the screen in the richly textured Franco-Arab family portrait THE SECRET OF THE GRAIN. Next up: a decadent seven-course spread of French haute cuisine as served up in the senses-ravishing Oscar winner BABETTE’S FEAST and a tender portrait of a family told through their weekly Sunday meals in Ang Lee’s EAT DRINK MAN WOMAN. And if you’ve still got room for more, there is gastronomic debauchery galore courtesy of Věra Chytilová and Luis Buñuel, offbeat odes to garlic and Cajun cuisine from Les Blank, a most memorable dinner with Andre, and more. Bon appétit! Start watching now on the Criterion Channel! https://www.criterionchannel.com/glorious-food
