The Taste of Things

This is basically the end-all-be-all of foodie films. It’s French, there’s cooking galore, and there’s a great love story.

Rather slow, kind of boring in places, artful filming, I think a foodie would love it. Not for the McDonald's and KFC crowd.

Beautiful and touching, watched it twice.

An homage to an epicurean culture that must be seen. Perhaps there was more to the film than that but I was too mesmerised by the evocative exposition of each meal that I may have missed it.

A laboured and visually ugly film about over indulgent, overly privileged men and their dysfunctional relationship with food and women. Juliet Binoche is superb portraying the beautiful depths of her character with grace. The other characters are superficial and faintly ridiculous. The soundscape is interesting being dominated by exaggerated sounds such as heavy breathing, I guess it was supposed to be meaningful or passionate, but it didn't work for me. The sub titles were at times a poor representation of the original French. Some of the scenes had a mukbang quality about them which was not attractive.

A classic French painting, made with tasty ingredients.

The taste of things is a beautiful movie.. I had an strong desire to cook

This is a captivating film luminous with life in a well- to-do French home in 19th century rural France. The relationship between the master of the household and his lover/chef is central. Beyond that, the film is totally about the preparation and appreciation of food, with produce from the garden, wines from its vineyard, and local chickens and other animals. (The French eat everything and prepare all magnificently; there is a reason there are no birds left in France.) The film I saw on Netflix was in French with no subtitles…forcing me to rely on my good, but not great French.

Beautifully shut movie. Actors performances & chemistry are great.

Drama de época sobre el arte de crecer, amar y el de la gastronomía. Destaca sobre todo la actuación de Juliette Binoche. Y la impresión que deja la película es tal que uno quisiera saber más sobre los platillos que se ven en pantalla
