The lunch date is a highly amusing film with made in in 1989. The film is beautifully shot in black and white which really gives the movie an atmospheric feel. I believe that the choice of soundtrack and the black and white is a clever move as it gives the audience a false sense of film noir which reflects our judgements of the story. The setting of a train station also is a nice cinematic choice with the audience relating to the stress and joys of them. The overall storyline moves quickly with humour and drama included. The main character has a very specific characterisations laid out from the beginning of the movie, indicating she is somewhat racist and in general a snob. Small details down to her wiping the table and forgetting her please and thank you conveys this. I also like the director choice to allow her to walk past a begging black man after her experaince which you believe may have changed her. The humour that one could mistake a person for stealing there food is a nice twist and funny to boot, yet adds some more character as the man and her almost bond over a cup of tea.
