B❤TCH IS THIS CAKE

Seven films with cake in the creamy centre, drenched in saturated symbolism and subversive resistance. Sometimes clotted, other times filled with confectionery and kitsch mixed with fantasies and fetishes, and some more or less moral tales about table manners, life, death and the story of cake throughout the history of film.
