Monica Burton, deputy editor at Eater.com, reviews the intersection of food and cinema, spotlighting films recognized at the 97th Academy Awards. Eater analyzes those films not just for their artistic merit but for their impactful depictions of food and dining experiences, even if they don’t qualify as classic food films. A notable example highlighted is Dennis Quaid's performance in 'The Substance,' where his exaggerated eating habits amplify his character's flaws. This assessment seeks to shine a light on food's significance in storytelling, often overlooked by traditional award shows.
Dennis Quaid's portrayal of Harvey in 'The Substance' uses food to underline his character's greed and misogyny, creating a visceral experience for the viewer.
At Eater, we celebrate the intersection of food and film, highlighting memorable culinary moments, despite the Academy's oversight in acknowledging food-themed narratives in films.
