In 1889 France, a gourmet and his cook, who is also his lover, spend their lives together creating fine meals.
Sinekatalog’s take
Trần Anh Hùng's gorgeous French period drama is almost a love letter to cooking. Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel share an unhurried romance, and the lengthy kitchen scenes are delicious.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
