Juliette Binoche plays another woman drawn inexorably to food and men
adaptation of Joanne Harris’s bestselling novel. Now, as professional chef Eugénie, Binoche plays another woman drawn inexorably to food and men, but this is a far more sumptuous affair.is a slow, incomparably patient film about the bond two people form over food.
It is easy to see the mutual respect and affection in this relationship, from the graceful to and fro between them in the kitchen to their excited chatter about future menus. They aren’t just partners or chefs, but artists, in awe of each other’s talent. One of the best scenes features Dodin cooking for Eugénie and as he shucks oysters and painstakingly arranges tiny spoons of caviar, his loud, anxious breathing presides over everything. The soundscape is paramount.
Eugénie notes with a smile that this is both “hazardous and audacious”; it is a great example of how artists can make something extraordinary from the ordinary, whether that’s food, or a simple-seeming film that transforms quotidian tasks into the stuff of true love.
