Eating Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Henry Jaglom
Genres: Comedy
Rating:
The title of Henry_Jaglom's stream-of-consciousness Eating says it all. Three women (Lisa_Blake_Richards, Mary_Crosby and Marlena_Giovi), each celebrating a "milestone" birthday, decide to throw a joint party. Attending the revelries is French documentary filmmaker Martine Nely_Alard, who becomes fascinated when none of the guests will touch the meticulously prepared birthday cake. As Martine begins interviewing the partygoers, she discovers the importance that food holds in each of their lives. One of the most revelatory improvisational monologues is delivered by a matriarch portrayed by Frances_Bergen, the real-life widow of Edgar_Bergen and the mother of Candice. Though Eating is not for everyone's taste, for those in tune with the fiercely independent Jaglom, the film is a cinematic smorgasbord. Hal Erickson, Rovi
