The Taste of Things (La passion de Dodin Bouffant)

As epicurean as French haute cuisine, The Taste of Things indulges our palates with an exquisite seven-course love story for the soul.

Cook Eugenie (Juliette Binoche) and her boss Dodin (Benoît Magimel) grow fond of one another over 20 years, and their romance gives rise to dishes that impress even the world’s most illustrious chefs. When Dodin is faced with Eugenie’s reluctance to commit, he begins to cook for her.

A refined, exquisitely appointed, quite moving adaptation of Rouff’s century-old novel of interconnected loves and losses.

The Taste of Things, even though lighter on story, is an exquisite film celebrating art, love and cooking.
