Catering to the food movie, 'The Taste of Things' serves up a mouthwatering feast

NEW YORK

Think of food and movies and your mind could quickly whip up a five-course meal. Maybe a few hard-boiled eggs, to start, from “Cool Hand Luke.” A side order of toast from “Five Easy Pieces,” followed by the soup from “Ratatouille.” A main course of octopus from “Oldboy.” And let’s wash all that down with a $5 shake from “Pulp Fiction.”

Since before Charlie Chaplin made bread rolls dance in “The Gold Rush,” cinema and cuisine have been as intertwined as the spaghetti of “The Lady and the Tramp.” But a real food movie — one that doesn’t just stop for noodles (“In the Mood for Love”) or take a trip to Katz’s (“When Harry Met Sally…”) — is a rarer delicacy.

Those movies that fully invest themselves in the making and consuming food are more all-your-eyes-can-eat buffets. Films like “Tampopo,” that wildly erotic ode to ramen; “Babette’s Feast,” with its sumptuous banquet; and “Eat Drink Man Woman,” Ang Lee’s nourishing family meal.

It’s a rich and savory tradition that gets a delicious new serving in Trần Anh Hùng’s “The Taste of Things.” If ever a film was a feast, it’s Hùng’s. The movie, starring Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel, opens with a glorious 40-minute scene set in a late 19th century French country kitchen where a meal is being prepared.

Butter is sizzling. Loins of veal are roasting. Fresh crayfish are peeled. A fish is gutted. Soup bubbles. Few words are said but the kitchen hums. Utensils clank. Merengue burns. Steam rises.

There’s no music but it’s a symphony. Eugénie (Binoche), the right-hand woman of top chef Dodin Bouffant (Magimel), works with quiet, assured mastery. It’s as riveting as any action-movie set piece.

“I told my crew: This is my car-chase scene,” says Hùng.

Hùng, the 61-year-old French-Vietnamese filmmaker, traces his love of cinema to his father, who would come home in South Vietnam with detailed descriptions of movies he had seen at the cinema, riveting Hùng. But his mother’s kitchen, he says, “gave me my first feeling of beauty.”

“The Taste of Things,” which opens in select theaters Friday, isn’t just about cooking. Like most movies about food, its appreciation of cuisine has as much to do with love and art as recipes and ingredients. Loosely inspired by Marcel Rouff’s classic 1924 novel “The Passionate Epicure,” “The Taste of Things" unfolds as a later-in-life love story, one with added poignance since Binoche and Magimel were, themselves, a couple 20 years earlier.

To Hùng, who recently spoke by phone during a trip to Vietnam (he lives in Paris), his mouthwatering opening scene, in all its sensory pleasures, is a paean to cinema.

“In musicals, it’s about harmony and the expression of love and pleasure,” says Hùng. “All of this was inside of me and I wanted to express it in this first scene in the kitchen where people move a lot. The level of gesture is enormous. How they move combined with complex camera movement, that came from musicals for me.”

France selected “The Taste of Things” as the country’s Oscar submission over the much-celebrated “Anatomy of a Fall." At last year’s Cannes Film Festival, it won best director for Hùng.

Hùng’s 1993 Oscar-nominated breakthrough “The Scent of Green Papaya” was likewise lush in atmosphere and sensuality. But while he admires some of the classic food movies — “Eat Drink Man Woman” especially — he doesn’t often feel they express what he wanted to accomplish with “The Taste of Things.”

“Today, I think films are really poor in cinema. Most of the time, it’s a theme of an important topic of the world today and then wrapped in very poor cinema. It looks like an illustration of a story,” he says. “To me, there is nothing to eat in that. I don’t feel full when I watch that type of film. There are too many like this. You can win the Palme d’Or with a very poor quality of cinema in the movie.”

Many reviews of “The Taste of Things” have come with a warning: Do not see this film on an empty stomach. But Hùng supplies no such caution.

“No, I think it’s interesting to be hungry, and waiting for the next meal,” he says, chuckling. “I never get panicked when I get hungry. I like to listen to it and wait so that what I have later is more delicious.”

Foodie photographs of a perfect plate have long been popular fodder for Instagram — the kind of gastronomy lampooned in the 2022 haute cuisine satire “The Menu.” But “The Taste of Things” is earthy and grubby. The food — none of which was artificially enhanced to look better — was all real. Famed French chef Pierre Gagnaire designed the dishes that were cooked on location by Michel Nave. For the film’s final meal, in which a triumphant pot-au-feu is prepared, some 90 pounds of meat were used.

Suffice to say, the cast and crew of “The Taste of Things” ate well.

“Everything we did was real,” says Hùng. "So at the end of the day, we had to eat everything. No waste at all.”

Congratulations to Disney Theatrical Production who’s fabulous new production of Beauty and the Beast had its Australian premiere in Sydney at the Capitol Theatre on Thursday 22 June 2023.

Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions (Aladdin, The Lion King, Mary Poppins, Frozen) this new production of Beauty and the Beast brings back members of the original creative team from the ground-breaking Broadway musical to reimagine this much-loved classic tale. Olivier Award nominee Matt West directs and choreographs, leading a team that includes original composer Alan Menken, lyricist Tim Rice, book writer Linda Woolverton, scenic designer Stan Meyer and lighting designer Natasha Katz.

Based on the 1991 animated film, the original production of Beauty and the Beast played for more than 13 years on Broadway, remaining to this day one of the top 10 longest running shows in Broadway history, and touring to 37 countries worldwide. Sydney audiences will rejoice in the spellbinding songs of Alan Menken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice including Belle, Gaston, Human Again and Be Our Guest.  

The stellar Australian principal cast includes Shubshri Kandiah as Belle, Brendan Xavier as Beast, Rohan Browne in the role of Lumiere, Andy Cook as Gaston, Gareth Jacobs as Cogsworth, Jayde Westaby as Mrs Potts, Nick Cox as Le Fou, Rodney Dobson as Belle’s father, Maurice, Hayley Martin as Babette and Alana Tranter as Madame.

This is the third Disney production that P&P Co have had the pleasure to work on and we are thrilled to be involved once more. 

Here is a teaser of the print media coverage we achieved in the lead up to the opening!

Latest story from https://movietvtechgeeks.com/see-movie-eat-meal/

See the Movie, Eat the Meal

From Eat, Pray, Love to Babette’s Feast, food has always played a big part in the movies. Often it’s because the scenes give the characters the chance to meet and talk free from other distractions, other times it’s to tell us something about the characters’ personality. Then again, sometimes, it's just for comic effect like the legendary scene in Katz’s Deli in When Harry Met Sally. And, just like the drinking games that challenge you to match the action on screen drink for drink, here are our suggestions for what to eat on the sofa while you’re watching these five classics.

Goodfellas

What else could it be but Italian to go with what many people think is the greatest of the Scorsese mafia movies? Food plays almost as big a part in the film as unexpected violence does, whether it’s mob members meeting up for dinner in New York’s fanciest restaurants or having authentic Italian ingredients shipped into prison for them so they can at least eat well when they’re serving time.  

Pulp Fiction

It’s going to be time to send out for burgers and shakes when you settle down to watch Pulp Fiction for maybe the hundredth time. While you might not agree with Samuel L. Jackson’s character that the burger is “the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast,” seeing him devour one in the diner is sure to get your own appetite going. Then, there’s the scene that’s sizzling with sexual tension as Uma Thurman enjoys a milkshake before taking to the dancefloor with John Travolta for a very different kind of dance from Saturday Night Fever.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

Poor old Indy certainly gets into some scrapes, whether he’s fighting the Nazis for the Ark of the Covenant or simply trying to hang on to an airborne plane for dear life. But few can have been more challenging than the Indian banquet he was subjected to by the Maharajah of Zalim Singh. It started well enough with roast boar, but when the second course of boa constrictor stuffed with baby eels arrived, things started to go downhill, reaching the absolute low point with monkey brains served from the skull. So, better stick to a jalfrezi or a madras yourself.

Splash

When you invite a mermaid out to dinner, you never know what to expect. But if, like the character played by Darryl Hannah in Splash, it’s lobster that she orders, then you can expect some pretty messy results. In the film she eats it up, shell and all, in front of her horrified date and, if you’re ordering in seafood, we hope that you’ll be a little more delicate in your eating habits.

Jurassic Park

Finally, to round off the perfect meal, what else but jello à la Jurassic Park? But watch out if its starts wobbling on the plate because it could mean that a T-Rex or two are heading your way, intent on turning you into dinner instead.
