Taste of Life

HUANG Yu-Shan 2015 Taiwan Fiction color 102min Mandarin, Taiwanese DCP
Different styles of dining can also be portrayed as different types of life. Restaurant hostess, Fen-Fang, prepares a feast for the new opening of her restaurant. Deep in her heart, however, she also experiences her most bitter moment. Her family is shattered when she hears news of her husband's affair. Considering marriage as her forever refuge, Fen-Fang never expects to face such crisis. This urban implication of the multiple aspects of life, people with prestige and beauty, hidden struggles and temptation, are all portrayed through dining.
