The Taste Of Things - 2023 - 7/10
AKA - La Passion de Dodin Bouffant
Not exclusive to gourmands, for pretty close.
Almost dialogue free for the first twenty minutes as Eugénie (Juliette Binoche) prepares an elaborate meal for Dodin and his fellow gourmands.
A romantic relationship dances about, yet the culinary side definitely predominates.
Leisurely paced, with scenes of preparation, followed with conversations of the fare.
These are “day long” affairs, course after course, leaving this viewer somewhat exhausted.
Adult tonic to juvenile foodie culture. Those to whom food is “so yummy”.
Side story of a young epicure who seeks apprenticeship could make a possible sequel.
