Geschmack im Film

The film, claimed legendary media philosopher Marshall McLuhan, is a hot medium. And he was right; for with all the top-heaviness with which the medium is interpreted and analysed up and down, it bubbles, boils and boils in deed and truth on the canvas as in the cooking pots. Real cinema is culinary pleasure, and food scenes are as old as the medium. Wolfram Knorr has selected twelve classics of film history, in which the action is really juicy; in the Western as well as in the thriller. The recipes are added to the pleasurable works.
