Quote:
"With La cuisine rouge, the intimate space of male-female relations is exposed to the tectonic shock of distance between men and women. But the space that separates the sexes is made apparent not only in the banality of daily ritual, but also in the construction of a dreamlike and fantasized female space."
-- Chantal Nadeau
