French Cinémathèque: The Taste of Things
La Passion de Dodin Bouffant - © Stéphanie Branchu
The film was France’s submission for Best International Feature Film at the 2024 Academy Awards!
Eugenie, a gifted cook, has been working for over the last 20 years for Dodin, a fine gourmet. Growing fonder of one another, their bond turns into a romance and gives rise to delicious dishes that impress even the world’s most illustrious chefs. When Dodin is faced with Eugenie’s reluctance to commit to him, he decides to start cooking for her.
