The Chinese Feast (blu ray) slipcase version

THE CHINESE FEAST (1995) is a zany light-hearted Hong Kong masterchef face-off kind of film.

Directed by renowned filmmaker Tsui Hark, this is a quintessential Hong Kong film blending comedy, romance, and culinary artistry starring an ensemble cast of Leslie Cheung (DAYS OF BEING WILD, FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE), Kenny Bee, Anita Yuen and others, combining to make a feel-good film released for the Lunar New year.

The story follows a down-on-his-luck chef and a spirited restaurateur as they team up to compete in a high-stakes cooking competition, The Manchu-Han Imperial Feast, against an evil Triad restaurant super-group. Their journey celebrates traditional Chinese cuisine while exploring themes of resilience and teamwork.

Bursting with vibrant energy, gags and mouth-watering food cinematography, the film captures the essence of 1990s Hong Kong cinema - creative, dynamic, comical (thanks to the influence of Stephen Chow on Hong Kong films during that era) and full of references and in jokes. THE CHINESE FEAST remains a beloved gem for a family movie and for foodies alike, that showcases Hong Kong’s unique storytelling and culinary traditions.
