Henry Jaglom's Eating - A Very Serious Comedy About Women and Food
Nelly Alard, Lisa Blake Richards, Frances Bergen, Mary Crosby, Gwen Welles, Elizabeth Kemp, Marina Gregory, Daphna Kastner, Marlena Giovi
A mockumentary involving ten women who gather for a birthday party and, in their discussions about food (and throwing it up), reveal the complexity of their relationships with men, women, work, and themselves. More annoying whines than interesting lines, and while some have praised Jaglom's risk-taking style (let alone his willingness to address eating disorders), the film isn't terribly appealing, let alone appetizing.
