Simmering passions between a master chef and his longtime partner bubble over in this sensuous period love story. In late-19th-century France, renowned gourmet Dodin Bouffant (Benoît Magimel) draws guests from far and wide for decadent meals prepared by his personal chef, Eugénie (a radiant Juliette Binoche). To demonstrate his love for Eugénie, Dodin decides to do something he has never done before: cook for her. Premiering at Cannes, this decadent feast of a film was nominated for the Palme d’Or and won the prize for Best Director.
“One of those instant gastronomical classics designed to be savored over and over.” —New York Times
