The Taste of Things - The Taste of Things review by JR
This is beautiful film for lovers of fine dining and cooking. It is not for action movie junkies!
THe film opens with about fifteen minutes of food being lovingly prepared and presented. There is minimal dialogue and no music. The scene is unhurried and calm and is beautifully photogrqphed. This sets the tone of the rest of the film which continues with gentle humour, a low-key but tender love affair, and delightful scenery. At one point the film continues past what appears to be a natural conclusion, but the extra minutes are worth it.
A gem!

Wonderful - The Taste of Things review by PL
A fantastic film. Slow but engrossing. Beautifully acted, aesthetically pleasing. Lots of silence, no music and total concentration on the subject - a loving relationship between the two main actors, guided by a shared love of food.
Think of a recent, commercial action movie - and think of the polar opposite; this is the Taste of Things.
