This weekend:
5TH AVENUE CINEMA PRESENTS
The Taste of Things
Dir. Tran anh hung (2023); france; french; 134 min
Programmed by: Naomi Nguyen
Winning Best Director at last year’s Cannes, Tran Anh Hung’s The Taste of Things is a heartfelt story about love and food—though not necessarily in that order. It is a thoughtful film about enjoying life’s fleeting pleasures before they’re gone. The Taste of Things lovingly references classic arthouse films like Babette’s Feast (1987) and Like Water for Chocolate (1992), which proved to charm audiences with their beautiful, detailed scenes of cooking, staying in theaters for months on end. This film similarly presents the artistry of food, all the while following two lovers as their future unfolds in the kitchen.
