Eating
On the occasion of her 40th birthday, Helene (Lisa Richards) has decided to throw herself a birthday party at her home and to invite several of her closest friends. Since one of her friends, Kate (Mary Crosby), has just turned 30, and another, Sadie (Marlene Giovi), is about to turn 50, Helene expands the party to make it a three-way-affair, inviting Kate and Sadie's friends to join the celebration. Also present is Martine (Nelly Alard), a house guest of Helene's from Paris, who is making a documentary for French television on what she describes as "Southern California Behavior". As the party progresses – when the cakes are cut and the slices passed around – Martine discovers that not one of the women gathered there will take a bite. And Helene's mother (MRS. WILLIAMS) – and we – start to realize that something much more significant and meaningful than just a birthday party is taking place. For as different as these women are from one another, they all share on
Yes, this is the 1990 movie... @Peterjhill
I saw this when it came out. I was not the demographic, a single young male. If you like movies about food and eating, here you go.
creepy, no sex porno! @intolerant musician
I have watched 39 minutes of the movie and can't watch a minute more. It's horrible. It's so boring. And it's got this really creepy feeling like a porno film. old woman: you're such a beautiful French woman French woman: mais, I wish I could feel beautiful old woman: don't tell me you don't feel how beautiful you are.... blah blah blah this is where you expect them to start kissing, but they don't. But there's no story line. Just boring little bits of conversation. It's all about how they look but just boring, boring, boring and I AM the demographic!
Excellent film. @Refuge Films
An iconic film from director, Henry Jaglom. Still relevant, with fantastic performances all around. The improvisational style that Jaglom utilizes puts you right there with the characters. One of my favorites.
