Celebrate the Lunar New Year with the Auckland International Film Club as we present a special screening of Ang Lee’s celebrated classic Eat Drink Man Woman. This beautifully crafted film masterfully blends exquisite culinary artistry with a heartfelt story about family, love, and personal growth — themes that resonate deeply during the New Year season, a time for reunion and reflection.

Through the lens of a master chef and his three daughters, the film explores generational tensions, cultural traditions, and the universal longing for connection. With its stunning visuals of traditional Chinese cuisine and rich portrayal of East Asian family life, Eat Drink Man Woman not only delights the senses but also invites us to reflect on the delicate balance between tradition and modernity.

Let’s welcome the lunar new year by coming together to celebrate culture, connection, and the timeless joy of great storytelling.
