The Taste of Things (5/10) by Tony Medley 145 Minutes. NR. Some have compared this with My Dinner with Andre, Louis Malle’s brilliant 1981 film consisting entirely of a dinner conversation between André Gregory and Wally Shawn at the Café des Artistes in Manhattan. But there is no comparison. Malle’s film contained captivating conversation between the two that keeps the audience enthralled for just under two hours. But this film is a prequel to the book by Marcel Rouff and is directed by Anh Hung Tran. Even so, the main person behind the film is Gastronomic Director Pierre Gagnaire because the guts of the film consists of the kitchen preparation of succulent feasts. That’s really it, one recipe after another ad naseum, although the relationship between Eugenie (Juliette Binoche), an esteemed cook, and Dodin (Benoit Maginel), the fine gourmet with whom she has been working for over the last 20 years, seems to be the raison d’étre for the film. Alas, neither is enough to justify a film of this length, unless you are a gourmet cook. Binoche is one of the best actresses extant, but she takes second fiddle here to the food. Binoche disclosed that the fact that she and Maginel had a prior relationship in real life that produced a child made it easy to create the unusual relationship between the two characters they play in the film. In French.
