Breakfast Lunch Dinner (2010)

Directors: Kaz Cai, Wang Jing, Anocha Suwichakornpong
Writers: Kaz Cai, Wang Jing, Anocha Suwichakornpong
Stars: Beatrice Chien, Wang Pin, Kamolluk Piyavittayanon

Helmed by three female directors, this omnibus features three films set in China, Thailand and Singapore respectively. Each story occurs at a specific mealtime, and seeks to interpret the frailties and complexities of love through different Asian perspectives. All three stories are tethered with the question, "Will you marry me?" Mirroring the repasts themselves, Breakfast and Dinner are heavier in tone, while Lunch is light with a sprinkle of humor.



“3 tasty shorts…the stories reflect the complexity and beauty of love, seen from various Asian perspectives. Restrained, controlled and sensitive.”
International Film Festival Rotterdam


“One of the 10 tantalizing films not to be missed”
World Film Festival of Bangkok


“A diet of great cinema”
The Nation Bangkook, Thailand national broadsheet


Anocha Suwichakornpong’s beautiful films always seem like they’re taking off for somewhere. This proves exemplarily the case in Lunch, a half-hour-long film conceived as the middle entry in a graceful omnibus feature (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner). As frequently occurs in this amazing, still-evolving director’s work, what begins as social satire soon gives way to lyricism, with the world opening up as a gift for young people and offering them the hope that it will never close.”
Aaron Culter, International Festival of Curitiba
