In the kitchen, around the table, and in the dining room, these films use cooking and eating to explore such themes as ideological pluralism, ethnic and racial acceptance, gender equality, and class flexibility-but not as progressively as you might think. Book Synopsis Big Night (1996), Ratatouille (2007), and Julie and Julia (2009) are more than films about food-they serve a political purpose. Devoured visually and emotionally, these films are particularly effective defenders of the status quo. About the Book Feasting Our Eyes takes a second look at modern American food films to emphasize their conventional approaches to nation, gender, race, sexuality, and social status.
