The Taste of Things

Followed by a tasting reception in the Jane Peck Gallery

Winner for Best Director at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival

Set in France in 1889, the film follows the life of Dodin Bouffant (Benoît Magimel), a chef living with his personal cook and lover Eugénie (Juliette Binoche). They share a long history of gastronomy and love but Eugénie refuses to marry Dodin, so the food lover decides to do something he has never done before: cook for her.

Afterwards, join us upstairs in the Jane Peck Gallery to enjoy a delectable tasting menu, presented in partnership with Pubstreet.

Zachary Barnes, Wall Street Journal
