In many films, culinary imagery is central enough to constitute a new subgenre, defined by films in which food production, preparation, service, and consumption play a major part in the development of character, structure, or theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   This book defines the food film genre and analyzes the relationship between cinematic food imagery and various cultural constructs, including politics, family, identity, race, ethnicity, nationality, gender,  and religion. Chapters examine these themes in several well-known food films, such as \u003ci\u003eThe Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, Chocolat, Babette''s Feast\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eEat Drink Man Woman\u003c\/i\u003e, and lesser-known productions, including \u003ci\u003eFelicia''s Journey, Kitchen Stories, Magic Kitchen\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eChinese Feast\u003c\/i\u003e.
