In 1880s France, a delicate balance of culinary artistry and romance unfolds between gastronome Dodin Bouffant (Benoît Magimel) and his esteemed cook, Eugénie (Juliette Binoche). For over 20 years, their professional partnership has flourished while their romantic attachment has floundered, much to Dodin’s chagrin. But as Eugénie’s health begins to wane, Dodin, determined to win her heart once and for all, takes to the kitchen himself.

The Taste of Things is a feast for the senses, with exquisite depictions of food preparation and consumption that are both sensual and reverential. And the chemistry between Magimel and Binoche is the perfect pairing to bring to life this exquisite, emotionally rich degustation of passion, food, and love.
