From 7.06 to 12.06 at Cinemaholics Tbilisi – “The Taste of Things” (dir. Anh Hung Tran, 2023)

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.

The main characters are played by legendary Juliet Binoche and Benoit Magimel, who famously played Walter Klemmer in Haneke’s the Piano Teacher.

“The Taste of Things” is a movie meant to make you fall in love — with the food, with the stars, with the French countryside — and it succeeds beautifully.
