The film 'The Taste of Things,' featuring Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel, opens this week in theaters, including the Belcourt and AMC Thoroughbred 20. Critics have praised the movie, comparing it to culinary classics like 'Babette's Feast' and 'Big Night,' and highlighting its portrayal of food and cooking as a central theme. Reviews from various sources, including the Seattle Times, Boston Globe, and Washington Post, have noted Binoche's outstanding performance, with the Globe stating she 'has never been better.' The film has been described as a visual and emotional triumph, with the potential to captivate audiences much like the second coming of 'Babette's Feast.' Additionally, the film has been discussed alongside 'Menus-Plaisirs — Les Troisgrois,' both celebrated for their contribution to the genre of foodie films and their ability to enchant viewers with their depiction of culinary passion.
