The Taste of Things has whetted appetites and tugged at heart strings all over the world. This deliciously sensual adaptation of Marcel
Rouff’s classic 1924 novel The Life and Passion of Dodin-Bouffant, Gourmet, blends cooking with romantic love, and won director Tran Anh
Hung (The Scent of Green Papaya) the Best Director prize at Cannes.
The year is 1885 and Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche (The English Patient) plays Eugénie, a renowned cook with no equal. Previous
Cannes Film Festival Best Actor winner Benoît Magimel (The Piano Teacher) is Dodin, a brilliant epicure whose ideas for recipes when
combined with Eugénie’s talents, create culinary magic.
The talented duo form a partnership that extends beyond the kitchen, establishing a friendship that occasionally evolves into something
more.
Can Dodin’s outstanding culinary instincts and desire for a deeper connection persuade Eugénie to marry him? Both instructive and
lovingly-captured throughout, this film reminds us that traditional French cuisine has earned its prestigious place on the world stage,
thanks to the dedication, care, time and love it demands.
Résumé
Eugénie, cuisinière hors pair, est depuis 20 ans au service du célèbre gastronome Dodin. Au fil du temps, de la pratique de la gastronomie
et de l'admiration réciproque est née une relation amoureuse. De cette union naissent des plats tous plus savoureux et délicats les uns que
les autres qui vont jusqu’à émerveiller les plus grands de ce monde.
