How wax food models are made

In 1985, German director Wim Wenders travelled to Japan and made a film called Tokyo Ga. In this clip of the film, Wenders visits a studio where fake food for display in restaurant windows is made. The clip starts a little slow so give it a bit of time.

What’s surprising is how much the process of making fake food is like the process of making real food. (via open culture)
