Additional InformationA former TV star and now wife of a prominent businessman desperate to keep her looks learns of a mysterious chef whose dumplings are said to make women appear more youthful. But what is the secret ingredient in the dumplings and at what cost has it been devised? Miriam Yeung Chin-Wah puts in a fantastic performance as the vain and fearful Ching, scared of growing old and unattractive now that she has married a rich businessman. The superb cinematography by regular Wong Kar Wai collaborator Christopher Doyle (INFERNAL AFFAIRS, THE QUIET AMERICAN) adds a slick edge to the film that has a grim, disturbing subject matter. Expanding on the short film also entitled DUMPLINGS that comprised a section of THREEàEXTREMES, the acclaimed Hong Kong director Fruit Chan has made a stylish and sinister film that takes a look at societyÆs obsession with youth and the morality and vanity of one woman as she attempts to regain her youth and physical beauty. Chan further cements his reputation as a leading light in Asian cinema with a subtle and restrained film that also manages to be highly disturbing and thought-provoking.

ReviewsTotal Film - Fruit Chan's gut-crawling sick-flick stylishly outgrosses Asian bad-boys Takashi Miike and Park Chan-wook., Empire - A sinister story of diet, deception, and death, Daily Telegraph - A cult smash in the making
