Long abstractChapter Seven explores how the rise of colour in film during the 1950s and 1960s has influenced the representation of food and eating. Considering only the fact that we have an impressive palette of food dyes illustrates the strong connection between food and colour. Colour can increase and decrease our appetite and even produce a sensation of disgust, creating aversion towards certain food types. As a result, the way food is coloured can create profound affective reactions in the film spectator.
