i’m looking for excerpts or entire pieces of film and television where people share human moments with each other over the subject of eating and drinking. twin peaks is the model for this, kind of. also this isn’t a sexual fetish
if anyone else is seeking obscure cultural threads and subject matter in media/movie galaxy oddity maybe u can use this thread too
Bartender is a whole anime about this, from the perspective of joining people as they come to a bar in the middle of the night in Tokyo and a guy helps them get drunk and relax about or come to terms with their inner struggles
good ass series
Aye there are going to be countless Japanproperties that zero in on the emotional resonance of culinary exercise X to a manic degree, such that mentioning any should be considered cheating
Is this is what Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories is about?
Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives
Nah
Live Action:
Samurai Gourmet
Wakakozake
Anime:
Restaurant to Another World
Gourmet Girls Graffiti (mildly horny)
Shokugeki no Soma (extremely absurdly horny to the max)
Wakakozake
This show doesn’t focus on the food as much as the others, like the meal is still important, but it’s more about the wacky community that formed in the restaurant.
Babette’s Feast
Tampopo!!!
RAVENOUS
de sica’s ‘bicycle thieves’ has a moment like that
the older i grow and the more i understand my parents (or try to), the more impactful this whole movie – but specially scenes like this – get, it’s incredible
this feels really personal and intimate in a way i can’t really describe but i love it
ooh yeah i feel you; you should see the whole thing, maybe!
it’s literally my favorite film ever. i watch it every year. i get into ugly-crying at some point most of the times hahaha
oh gosh i’ll put it on my list. i still have no idea what its about but i’m sold
maybe… and yet…
Wings of Desire
does coffee and cigarettes count
Does the essential oeuvre of Steve1989MREInfo count?
The Cook, The Thief, His WIfe and Her Lover
A film I fully intend never to watch again.
