The movies Tampopo, 9½ Weeks, Chocolat, Like Water for Chocolate, Eat Drink Man Woman, and Babette's Feast are among those exploring the relationship. Tom Jones contains a notable eating scene.
Food as a way of suicide was explored in La Grande Bouffe (1973) and eating as taboo activity in Le Fantôme de la liberté (1974). The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (1989) can also be called a food film.
