OK, so why isn't Kevin Bishop a huge star. I've never heard of him before this film and bought the dvd in search of a decent gay film. Bishop's performace is letter perfect in his portrayal of a young man's discovery of the power of his sexuality in his own life and in the lives of others. The courage of the filmakers in making a film that is true to the sensuality of attraction and the duplicity of love is wonderful to see. I gave this film 5 stars because it stayed with me for days afterwards. It's nice to see a movie that tells a story with gay characters that has universal themes. Outstanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Love Story, Feb 1 2004

By

Heather Medieval (Midwest, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Food of Love (DVD)

All I can say to really sum up how I feel about this movie is: AMAZING. Being a fan of Kevin Bishop's (Paul Porterfield) is what motivated me to see this movie. And it was definitely worth it. The movie is based on a book called "The Page Turner", by David Leavitt, and beautifully tells the story of an 18 year old, Julliard bound Californian (Paul Porterfield) and his passionate feelings for a famous pianist named Richard Kennington (actor Paul Rhys). The acting was quite phenomenal, and Kevin Bishop kept things realistic. This is a movie most anyone can enjoy; it is simply a story of love and longing. I like to watch this movie over and over again; the emotions are projected so well on all of the actors' parts, and the story really touches my heart.

4.0 out of 5 stars Food of Love DVD Review, Oct 28 2003

By

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Food of Love (DVD)

I caught part of this film on pay-per-view and was so intrigued I ended up buying the DVD. It is a very complex coming-of-age story about a young pianist, Paul Porterfield (Kevin Bishop), who falls in love with his idol and mentor.

Certainly NOT a typical gay-themed film filled with quirky, offbeat sidekicks. What a relief!

Shot entirely in Spain, which stands in for San Francisco and New York, the first half of the film is very visual. Some of the stilted dialogue can be attributed to the all-European cast and their "American" accents.

The DVD transfer is a little grainy, but it is in letterbox format. Some great interviews with the cast and director are included as extras on the DVD.
