Director Q&A

Overview

The new film from acclaimed director Anh Hung Tran is a delectable tale of culinary passion and simmering romance, starring Oscar-winner Juliette Binoche.

THE TASTE OF THINGS is a captivating French drama that explores the complex layers of family, tradition, and personal ambition. Set against the scenic backdrop of rural France, the film follows the story of Élodie, a young and ambitious chef who returns to her family's vineyard after years of working in Paris's high-end culinary scene. As she confronts her family's expectations to take over the traditional winemaking business, Élodie embarks on a journey to blend the modern culinary techniques she has learned with the rich heritage of her family's vineyard.

Through a series of challenges, both personal and professional, she seeks to create a unique dining experience that encapsulates the taste of her homeland while pushing the boundaries of traditional cuisine. The film beautifully captures the essence of French culture, the passion for culinary arts, and the struggle between innovation and tradition, making it a visually stunning and emotionally resonant experience for audiences.

Reviews

"In a phenomenological way, The Taste of Things captures the joy of variety injected into mere existence: savory and sweet, hot and sour, juice and cream and astringency are not required for pure subsistence, but the rich range of taste we have created in our daily meals says something about human longings not easily put into words."
– NEW YORK TIMES

"The Taste of Things is at once a delight for all five senses and an affecting drama of a relationship, as idiosyncratic as all loving ones are. Lingering on the tongue like a sip of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the film leaves one feeling a little drunk, desperately hungry and entirely alive."
– WALL STREET JOURNAL

"The couple’s pursuit of true, deep, sincere beauty in all things — in body and mind — despite these obstacles is infinitely touching."
– THE PLAYLIST

"Food is a gift of love here – and romance courses through this delightful film. "
– TIME OUT
