Features perhaps the most purely gripping set-piece of bean curd preparation since, I don't know, probably Dziga Vertov's lost film Prepare That Bean Curd in Atonement for Your False Consciousness, Trotskyite Subversive!

This is only the second of her films that's been released in the UK, though - it'll be a long time until we get a proper retrospective.
