We were thrilled to welcome Trân Anh Hùng to NYFF61 to discuss his Spotlight selection The Taste of Things. In conversations with both NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim and FLC Senior Director of Programming Florence Almozini, the director discussed adaptation, working with Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel, and food-focused films that inspired him.
Destined to be remembered as one of the great films about the meaning, texture, and experience of food, this sumptuous, exceptionally well-crafted work of epicurean cinema, set in late 19th-century France, stars Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel as Eugénie, a cook, and Dodin, the gourmet chef she has been working with for 20 years.
Enjoy both conversations with Trân Anh Hùng below.
