Free Foreign Language movies:

The World Language Lab will be showing free foreign films this semester. Students, faculty and staff are invited to foreign films that will entertain, educate and inspire conversation.

This semester the foreign films will be all about food. The best foreign films concerning food have the power to tempt and tantalize with their sumptuous imagery. The films will rejoice in the most exquisite details and celebrate in the delight and enjoyment of food. They will transport an audience to the sights, sounds and flavors of far-off places. This semester's movies will make you laugh, cry or even inspire you. But, if they do just one thing, they will make you hungry. Free popcorn will be served.

Thursday, Sept. 22:  12:30 to 2:30 p.m.

Del Rio Hall, Room D-174

In "Eat Drink Man Woman" (1994), the sensuous joy of food and its associated rituals are  examined through the story of a father and his three grown daughters. The eleborate preparation of their Sunday dinners together acts as an expression of their unspoken thoughts and feelings. A retired master chef and widower is worried about the future  of his three unmarried daughters who are skeptical about marriage. Yet, he himself surprises them with his secret love affair with a  woman many years his junior.
