The Taste of Things<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Taste of Things\u201d came as a surprise pick by the Oscar committee to represent France in the international feature film race this year. Loosely based on Marcel Rouffe\u2019s 1924 novel \u201cThe Passionate Epicure,\u201d French-Vietnamese director Tr\u00e0n Anh H\u00f9ng tells the story of the multi-dimensional relationship between Eug\u00e9nie, an esteemed cook and Dodin, the gourmet she\u2019s been working for over the last 20 years. Starring Juliette Binoche and Beno\u00eet Magimel, the film takes a dual focus on haute cuisine and two soulmates maturing together both professionally and personally in 1885.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u00f9ng took a unique approach to filming cuisine, calling on \u201cgastronomic manager\u201d @pierregagnaire and \u201cculinary adviser\u201d Michel Nave, a pair of Michelin three-star chefs to prepare the food before filming, requiring immense planning from technical teams to successfully capture the preparation of the dishes. The film won H\u00f9ng the best director prize at this year\u2019s Festival de Cannes, and was acquired by IFC Films and Sapan Studios in June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ways in which cuisine is prepared and enjoyed are integral in shaping identities and culture. Food Culture is a key theme of Villa Albertine this year, particularly in San Francisco, a city at the intersection of innovation and environmental awareness, where food becomes another lens through which environmentally conscious communities are cultivated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anatomy of a Fall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palme d\u2019Or winner at this year\u2019s @festivaldecannes, \u201cAnatomy of a Fall\u201d walks the line between moral dilemma, thriller, and courtroom drama, leaving the audience feeling uncertain, unable to decide from one scene to the next, who to root for. Sandra H\u00fcller stars as Sandra, a German writer who is suspected of killing her husband Vincent, played by Swann Arlaud after his body is found dead in the snow outside their isolated chalet. Did he jump or was he pushed? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the film unfolds, director Justine Triet explores the mechanics of the tragedy, yet leaving more questions than answers. It was this sense of the unknown that Triet was particularly interested in \u2014 wanting to stay away from the narrative reflexes of a whodunit style film.  Actress Sandra H\u00fcller herself didn\u2019t even know the truth of her character but was told to \u201cplay her like she\u2019s innocent.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Triet goes beyond the investigation at hand to explore the complexities of romantic relationships, and the audience\u2019s perception of a woman, and how this perspective changes with every new piece of information revealed. The courtroom becomes not only an examination of the death, but ultimately of Sandra\u2019s life and mind.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presented with support from Villa Albertine and Tv5Monde, catch \u201cAnatomy of a Fall\u201d at this year\u2019s Mill Valley Film Fest screenings! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
