Din­ners Gone Wrong – A Super­cut of Weird Movie Meals

Luís Azeve­do serves up some of the strangest and more stom­ach-turn­ing food moments in cin­e­ma history.

What’s your favourite food moment in the movies? Maybe it’s the sur­re­al­ist chick­en carv­ing in David Lynch’s 1977 debut, Eraser­head. Or per­haps you’ve always had a soft spot for the food fight in Vera Chytilová’s 1966 com­e­dy Daisies.

For his lat­est video essay, we set Luís Azeve­do the task of serv­ing up a super­cut of some of the more weird­er and won­der­ful food-relat­ed scenes in movie his­to­ry. The result is an odd­ly com­pelling, occa­sion­al­ly hilar­i­ous alter­na­tive look at cin­e­ma through a culi­nary lens, tak­ing in a wide range of delec­table tid­bits from the likes of Tim Bur­ton, William Fried­kin and Steven Spielberg.
