Courtesy IFC Films/Sapan Studios

IFC Films and Sapan Studios will release the culinary drama THE TASTE OF THINGS in limited release on February 9th, 2024 before expanding nationwide on February 14th. The film world premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and is France’s official submission for the 2023 Best International Feature Oscar.

The Taste of Things (previously titled The Pot-au-Feu) was directed by Tran Anh Hung, who is best known for the 1993 arthouse hit The Scent of Green Papaya. The synopsis for The Taste of Things is as follows: Set in France in the late 19th century, the film follows the life of Dodin Bouffant (Benoît Magimel) as the preeminent chef living with his personal cook and lover Eugénie (Oscar®-winner Juliette Binoche). Eugénie and Dodin share a long history of gastronomy and love. While emotions remain contained, the culinary discoveries are, on the other hand, breathtakingly exquisite. The only hitch is that Eugénie refuses to marry Dodin. So, the food lover decides to do something he has never done before: cook for her.
