Book Synopsis
Most filmmakers have settled on basic ways to treat food: as a background prop; as a transition device to compress time; and, as a symbol or metaphor to make a dramatic point or to reveal a character's mood. This title details 400 food scenes, tracing technical, artistic and cultural forces that contributed to the emergence of a 'food film' genre.
