The Chinese Feast
Directed by Tsui Hark
Produced by Film Workshop, Mandarin Films Ltd.
A lighthearted romantic comedy about a reformed gangster pursuing culinary dreams and love, grounded in warmth and humor rather than conflict.
Within a few years, petty crook Chiu rises to gang leader. But his professional ambitions are actually quite different: he wants to leave illegality behind and make a career for himself and his lover in Canada... as a chef. However, this craft must first be learned and Chiu's talent in the field of cooking leaves much to be desired.
