Sunday, October 20 2:10PM (20C1)/ 7:10PM (20C3) CHINESE THE CHINESE FEAST (Hong Kong, 1994 108 min.) No figure within the Hong Kong New Wave has been more influential than Tsui Hark (Peking Opera Blues). The premise of this "kung food" film is wonderfully clever: it applies the form of a classic martial arts film to a story about cooking. An inept young cook (Leslie Cheung) must find a master chef to represent his boss's restaurant in a high-stakes competition. Despite its loosely structured, anything goes plot, the film's knockout humor and high spirits manage to keep us enthralled through detailed demonstrations of complex (and often revolting) recipes.
