Amid all the Hollywood blockbusters, there are plenty of films that fall between the cracks. Once you get a chance to watch one, some of these overlooked films turn out to be little gems.
So here’s a recommendation FYVP that has served as a go-to, date-night film for me: DINNER RUSH.
I saw this indie in the US back in 2000, when it was first released. I thought it was great, but I was in the minority. This film grossed just over US$638,000 during its brief theatrical run.
DINNER RUSH is mainly about one crazy night for a restaurateur, who’s also a bookmaker, at his popular establishment in Lower Manhattan’s Tribeca neighbourhood. It has sex, wine, art, what appears to be good food, a love triangle, restaurant critics, cops and gangsters.
The must-watch for me here is Vivian Wu, the Shanghainese actress featured in THE LAST EMPEROR and THE JOY LUCK CLUB.
Please check out the trailer:
