I can hardly find the words to describe the film or why I loved it so much! One of many ways I judge a movie is if I am tempted look at my watch - this only happens when I find what I am viewing is not very engaging! I never thought about the time not even once during The Taste of Things.
While, I am very conscious of how the upper classes can be avariciousness, gluttonness, reluctant to share their spoils, and have other human beings in their servitude to satisfy their every whim...while this film depicts aspects of all of the above it really isn't about any of these. It is a beautiful love story and profound grief that uses cusine to pirtray the deep connection between two human beings irrespective of the context. In fact, it is about the love and respect thst the Juliette Binoche character Eugénie garners from all those who encounter her.
Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel are a triumph in their lead roles. The very talented Bonnie Chagneau-Ravoire as Pauline, I predict will be a superstar in French cinema at the very least.
