"Food is a gift of love here – and romance courses through this delightful film." - Philip De Semylen, Time Out

"A movie that captures its mouthwatering dishes like edible tableaux, combining culinary marvels with a moving tale of middle-age love." - Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter

As every good chef knows, the best kitchens are full of serene and loving concentration. The Taste of Things (previously known as The Pot-au-Feu) immerses us within just such a world of masterly preparation: sauces are patiently reduced, joints of meat are carefully seared, everywhere there is simmering, straining, garnishing, tasting. Renowned gourmet Dodin (Benoît Magimel) masterminds the meals, cook of twenty years Eugénie (Juliette Binoche) carries out his plans. Their closeness in the kitchen sometimes continues to the bedroom. A calming, yearning and sensual delight, this is gorgeous cinema.
