“The Taste of Things” — starring Juliette Binoche — was shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best International Feature (France).
Set in France in 1889, the film follows the life of Dodin Bouffant as a chef living with his personal cook and lover Eugénie. They share a long history of gastronomy and love but Eugénie refuses to marry Dodin, so the food lover decides to do something he has never done before: cook for her.

“Lusciously tender.” — Variety
"A celebration of people’s desire for everything that’s beautiful and fleeting in life.” — Slant Magazine
