For The Hunger Games, Middle Tennessee food stylist Jack White makes meals to ...

20.05.12

In a glittering city called "The Capitol" (sic), foppish elites mill about, feasting sumptuously, while a teen girl from an impoverished outer district performs Robin Hood-like feats for their amusement. Unfortunately, they're too busy consuming gourmet delectables to pay heed to her archery skills. If you've somehow missed the Hunger Games runaway train, it's enough to know that in its dystopian world, where reality TV meets the Roman Colosseum, the girl's life may depend on their noticing her prowess with a bow.

In a snit, she sends an arrow through the apple in a roast suckling pig's mouth — a major buzzkill for the gluttonous dandies.

To Jack White (no, not that Jack White), the pig, the apple, and the feast itself aren't just set dressing; they're edible works of art and central characters in the story. As food stylist for the movie version of The Hunger Games , which opens not so quietly in theaters this Friday (see review on p. 72), it was the native Middle Tennessean's job to sculpt a meal that would create a sense of obscene opulence. It had to spell out the bitter disparities between lavishly spoiled Capitol dwellers and the starving young protagonist from the provinces — food as symbol of wealth and desire. It had to be a meal that people would literally die for.
