This is an atypical horror movie

Dumplings are the stuffing.

The whole movie unfolds slowly, slowly telling a disgusting story.

It is atypical because it is different from traditional horror, directly throwing out the concept of cannibalism, and letting you watch all this from beginning to end, what a beautiful dumpling, crystal clear, you can directly see the pink filling, chewing Still crunchy in the mouth.

The film talks about the differences and tastes of babies who are a few months old. The history of cannibalism is simply and plainly described by Aunt Mei.

The historical account at the end of the film is not so much an excuse for the heroine to want to stay young forever, but another manifestation of the fantasy that humans have been pursuing immortality.

Dumplings quotes

  • Mei, the cook: Let me tell you, all expensive cosmetics claim to contain precious stuff like bird's nest, ginseng, pearl powder, pollen, royal jelly, whatever. Who cares? For women to rejuvenate, you must start from inside for the best result. Only my secret formula can do this. Mrs. Li, think of the results, not what it was.

  • Mei, the cook: [singing] Rough is the nature of Lake Hung / My home is on the shore / At dawn, boats go out with nets / At dusk, they return loaded with fish / Wild ducks and lotus roots are here / The scent of rice fills our autumn air / They say heaven is beautiful / How can it compare with my Lake Hung?
