If you loved Eat Drink Man Woman, try Das Hochzeitsbankett
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Ang Lee, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Eat Drink Man Woman, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

Here's a movie that attempts to wring comedy from a closet. A gay landlord arranges a sham marriage with his tenant to placate his visiting parents. What follows is exactly the kind of gentle farce one might expect, and maybe even enjoy.
