Thaïs Takeout: The Taste of Things.

YEARSLEY, DAVID
- Abstract
"The Taste of Things" is a French film set in the late nineteenth century that explores the passion for food and the relationship between a wealthy gourmet named Dodin Bouffant and his live-in cook, Eugénie. The film showcases the art of cooking and the sensory experience of taste and smell, with a focus on the kitchen as a laboratory of flavors. While the film lacks a musical score, it immerses viewers in the sounds of the countryside and the culinary process. The film concludes with a musical interlude featuring Jules Massenet's "Méditation" from the opera Thaïs.
