The Taste of Things (2024)
(La Passion de Dodin Bouffant ‘The Passion of Dodin Bouffant’)
The Taste of Things is a 2024 French historical romantic drama. Set in 1889, it depicts a romance between a cook and the gourmet she works for. For 20 years, Eugenie (Juliette Binoche), has worked for Dodin (Benoît Magimel), a famous gourmet. Over that time, the practice of gastronomy and mutual admiration turned into a romantic relationship. However, despite Dodin’s proposals, Eugenie does not want to become a wife. Dodin decides to do something he has never done before: cook for her.
As epicurean as French haute cuisine, The Taste of Things indulges our palates with an exquisite seven-course love story for the soul.
