France 1865. Celebrated gourmet Dodin lives on an idyllic Loire Valley estate. His esteemed cook Eugenie prepares meals with unparalleled attention to detail and the film opens with a mesmerising 38 minute sequence of the preparation and indulgence of a single meal.
An absolutely sumptuous, sensual – but never sickly so – story about food and love executed with intimacy, humour and exactness that is impossible not to relish. Juliette Binoche is as perfect as ever…you must see this film. Best director winner at Cannes 2023
