Cuisine chinoise (1999)

Cuisine chinoise is a French film first released in 1999, directed by Frédérique Feder.  The film stars Irène Jacob, Yvan Le Bolloc’h, Martine Lapertot, Gérard Selles and Sophie Menges.  Our overall rating for this film is: good.


Patricia realises that the magic has gone out of her relationship with her partner Pascal.  Unable to walk out on him, she decides to use more subtle tactics to put him off, taking ideas from a Chinese book Sun-Tsu’s "The Art of War"...

An entertaining, if somewhat inconsequential, short film which paints an all-too believable portrait of a wilting conjugal life.  Even when she behaves like a slob, Irène Jacob is irresistible.
