La passion de Dodin Bouffant (The Taste of Things)

Set in the late 19th century and celebrating the love and culinary artistry – the romance between esteemed cook Eugenie (Juliette Binoche) and gourmet Dodin (Benoît Magimel) blossoms after two decades of working together.
Their love story creates delectable dishes that astound the culinary world including the world’s most illustrious chefs. As Dodin yearns for Eugenie’s commitment, he decides to start cooking for her.
The film—very loosely working off of Marcel Rouff’s 1924 novel La Vie et La Passion de Dodin-Bouffant, Gourmet—both oozes authenticity and carries a timelessly romantic appeal.
