Based on David Leavitt’s novel “The Page Turner”, this sensual film explores the passage of a young pianist into adulthood and his first romance. When 18-year-old Paul (Kevin Bishop) becomes a page turner for his hero, world-famous pianist Richard Kennington (Paul Rhys, From Hell ), his feelings for the artist grow stronger. The two begin a passionate affair and Paul feels love for the first time. Their relationship is complicated by Richard’s agent Joseph (Allan Corduner, The Grey Zone, Moonlight Mile ) and Paul’s recently divorced, highly neurotic mother played by British actress Juliet Stevenson ( Truly, Madly, Deeply and Bend It Like Beckham ), whose performance the Village Voice called “fiercely committed.” A gorgeous blending of emotional drama and classical artistry, Food of Love makes beautiful music.
