The collections Let’s Eat! Food and Film and Dinners From Hell are now showing on MUBI.

The fifth season of MUBI Podcast: Italian Voices of Today, explores the deep connection between food and cinema, showing how eating and watching become sensory and narrative experiences. Hosted by Maria Chiara Giannetta, each episode features conversations with guests from the world of film. Enjoy listening (and bon appétit).

In this week’s episode, Maria Chiara Giannetta sits down with actor Maurizio Lastrico and Michelin-starred chef Chiara Pavan for a conversation that weaves together cinema, food, and the collective imagination. Moving from cult classics like The Big Feast to more recent titles such as The Menu, the discussion explores how food becomes a narrative device to portray desires, excess, obsessions, and power dynamics. 

Through the perspectives of an actor, a performer, and a leading figure in fine dining, the episode asks how accurately cinema can represent the world of high-end cuisine, from a high level of culinary creativity on the plate to  intense pressure and discipline behind the scenes. This lively, cross-disciplinary exchange examines the thin line between reality and performance. This episode was recorded live at the MUBI Fest in Rome.

Le collezioni SI MANGIA! Il CIBO AL CINEMA e MENU DEGUSTAZIONE: PIETANZE TIPICHE INFERNALI sono disponibili su MUBI.

La quinta stagione di MUBI Podcast: Voci Italiane Contemporanee, intitolata “Vedi che ti mangi”, esplora il legame profondo tra cibo e cinema, raccontando come il mangiare e il guardare diventino esperienze sensoriali e narrative. Conduce Maria Chiara Giannetta, che in ogni puntata dialoga con ospiti del mondo del cinema. Buon ascolto (e buon appetito).

Maria Chiara Giannetta dialoga con l’attore Maurizio Lastrico e la chef stellata Chiara Pavan in un incontro che intreccia cinema, cibo e immaginario collettivo. Partendo da film cult come La Grande Abbuffata fino ad arrivare a titoli più recenti come The Menu, la conversazione esplora il modo in cui il cibo diventa strumento narrativo per raccontare desideri, eccessi, ossessioni e dinamiche di potere. Attraverso lo sguardo dell’attore, dell’interprete e della professionista dell’alta cucina, la puntata si interroga su quanto il cinema riesca davvero a rappresentare in modo autentico il mondo della ristorazione fine dining, tra creatività, disciplina e pressione estrema.

Un confronto vivace e multidisciplinare che mette a fuoco il confine sottile tra realtà e messa in scena. La puntata è stata registrata dal vivo durante il MUBI Fest di Roma, davanti a un pubblico partecipe.
