Feast Your Eyes is a video series looking at how films tell stories with and about food.
Directions to Side Street
Anthony Mann's Side Street (1950) features an impressive number of real Manhattan locations, typical of some postwar film noir that embraced semidocumentary techniques.
As the character scramble through the moral and geographic labyrinth of New York, Side Street functions as a map of the city.

Food and Resistance in Palestinian Cinema
มุมมอง 1.3Kปีที่แล้ว
Palestinian films made for Western audiences often focus on the violence of occupation or the heroism of resistance, but in between the action there are moments to dwell on the importance of fresh bread and hummus, the coldness of a glass of orange juice, the correct way to make maqluba. In this video essay, N.A. Mansour makes the case that these moments are far from incidental, but are records...

Side by Side
มุมมอง 1122 ปีที่แล้ว
In the first UK lockdown of 2020 I set myself a task: every day, for 50 days, create one 'side by side' video, putting short film clips next to each other to tease out similarities, influences, patterns, serendipity and chance. Here are all 50 clips compiled into one video.
First as Tragedy, then as Farce
มุมมอง 1753 ปีที่แล้ว
Ernst Lubitsch's 1942 masterpiece To Be or Not to Be is both a comedy and a wartime thriller - and Lubitsch uses repetition to master both genres. After some exposition, the narrative becomes one of subterfuge, duplicity and performance, with characters pressed, for one reason or another, into repeating themselves again and again.

love this!
And what's even more interesting is that the night of the hunter horse riding shot comes from way before, that is a reference to 1927's Abel Gance's Napoleon
Interesting observation, thank you for sharing!
I love these types of videos ❤
Whats the movie called?
increadible vid , really missed this story telling happening through food in this movie
Beautiful video! Thank you for this!
Great analysis! Love this movie and further understanding the role and representation of food adds another layer that I appreciate
this is crazy ❤❤

One of my faves is the Dr Who film meal sequence: th-cam.com/video/aHSyoMPQibI/w-d-xo.html
Holy shit how do you have under 500 subscribers?? This is good stuff, your delivery reminds me of like Nexpo...you got the ingredients for a successful channel here Def earned my sub!
Very interesting stuff
Wow this is really high quality. Subbed.
I like the video as a whole but the audio of his mic is killing me
@@richardormandy5334 bruh this sounds fine. You seem like the kinda dude that says he can see a large difference in quality between an 8k screen and a 4k one
You show a clip here of the 1960s movie "Playtime" made by Jacques Tati; a searing indictment of modernism. Great movie.
LOVE THIS
You lost me when you said "apartheid" and "genocide" in reference to Israel. Too bad that a lot of Palestinian discourses of the last years have turned into irredentism and have been snatched up by antisemites in the West across the political spectrum. I thought the video would be about food, but every second sentence was drenched in political buzzwords like "Israeli occupation" or "resistance".
its what the movies about what's it supposed to say orange juice 300 times ?with bo refence to the film. their wasnt any anti semitic statements here and it gets old every time any one says anything about Israel they're racist that it's a race a religion gives a huge blanket to thwart any criticism no body said anything about the religion of Judaism just about the country of Israel violating human rights idc who you worship yreati g people as such is sad an disheartening
@@cortezdiamond5339 a) I was expecting a focus on food in a video of a food blog b) the video was full of loaded political terms like "apartheid" or "occupation" c) why do people all over the world always have to focus their criticism on Israel and neglect other countries? it's this obsessive criticism of Israel that is getting very old. And it's Jews all over the world who get attacked, whose places of worship are attacked, who have to flee to Israel, because everyone equates Jews with Israels and vice versa.
@@mobo7420 but those terms weren't racist terms they were political terms and actions placed by that government not the religion of people no one said attack or negative comments against a religion in pretty sure muslims have the same issues every where as well they are both facing hardships all over that being said it did a pretty good job of tying food into the feelings and significance of everything you have when life gets ruff & tough people are too critical there wasnt a hint of malice its the reality of what's happening right now some people dont like it because they show only they negative side of Israel or the humanity of Palestinians but it's their story if it was a story about Israel by Israelites the view would be opposite wouldnt it be ?
"Occupation," "apartheid," and "genocide" here are *not* loaded or political "buzzwords," as you claim, but merely objective descriptions used according to their unanimously agreed-upon definitions -- and I would love to hear you attempt to make a good faith argument against any of them, since I do not believe it is possible
people's homes are being bombed for new settlement :/ people are dying because of this apartheid, please don't be so dense
Great video! I love your analysis, I never thought about how much this movie is about food. Also, what is the film shown at 0:43?
Thank you! That film is Full Contact
Wonderful
"Like the film itself, [the food] is made quickly, consumed lightly" "Converting heartache to stomachache" So many great lines, wow
It was a film making mistake to show he considered killing her... This after tucking her into bed. This after seeing she's a victim. His hit man career was removing scum. Like the character in Taxi protected a girl from scum. He would never walk to her to kill her.. in order to protect his identity.. so too, here... but this movie crossed the line in being very unbelievable.

Hm, didn't except that, quite a nice, well made video.
Well lummie, that was good.
Well done
A gratifying cerebral approach, thank you.
"Money doesn't care who spends it."
Great video !
nice video
Fantastic video. Great character insights.
Awesome (I know it's 9 years late, but still...)
This is good! I love slapstick :)
I'm confused
Btw... I think Myth Busters did some sort of episode regarding banana peels.
Now days people crash into things, slip & trip for lesser reasons than a banana peel. Everyone's on their cell phone & not paying attention as they walk.
Another brilliant episode. I love your videos.
Another brilliant video. Your readings of films are very insightful. Really enjoy them
Brilliantly thoughtful video. Love it.
This is brilliant. Really thoughtful. Love it
