'The Passion of Dodin Bouffant'), previously titled The Pot-au-Feu,[4] is a 2023 French historical romantic drama film written and directed by Trần Anh Hùng starring Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel.

Their appreciation for her cooking is contrasted with their disappointment in a garish and discordant eight-hour meal prepared by a visiting prince's chef to which they are invited.

Eugénie and Dodin, both middle-aged, are in a long-term romantic relationship, but maintain separate bedrooms; he has asked her to marry him several times, but she declines, preferring that they stay as they are.

Dodin plans to invite the prince to a meal for which he will prepare a menu revolving around a classical, yet poor, dish, the pot-au-feu.

After one such episode, he cooks an intricate meal for her with great dedication and concludes with an engagement ring hidden in a dessert.

The website's critics consensus reads, "As epicurean as French haute cuisine, The Taste of Things indulges our palates with an exquisite seven-course love story for the soul.

[21] On AlloCiné, the film received an average rating of 3.1 out of 5 stars, based on 33 reviews from French critics.

[23] The New York Times described the film as having "elements of joy and sorrow, humor and intensity, beauty and light and shadow combine in a perfectly balanced experience".
