The Taste of Things

Synopsis

Set in 1889 France, Dodin Bouffant is a chef living with his personal cook and lover Eugénie. They share a long history of gastronomy but she refuses to marry him, so the food lover decides to do something he has never done before: cook for her. Lavishly shot and beautifully acted, Juliet Binoche and Benoit Magimel manage to convey their love for each other just in the way they handle and prepare food. Definitely a film for foodies but also engrossing enough for those with a layman’s interest. I recommend you do not watch this on an empty stomach.
