Special Event Cinema: 

The Taste of Things (15) - Part of the 31st French Film Festival UK 2023 - Sun 26 November at 2pm

Peerless cook Eugenie (Juliette Binoche) has worked for the famous gourmet Dodin (Benoît Magimel) for the last 20 years.

Their association gives rise to dishes, one more delicious than the next, that confound even the world’s most illustrious chefs and Dodin is in love.

But Eugenie is fond of her freedom and has never wanted to marry Dodin. So, he decides to do something he has never done before: cook for her.
