Most prolific artists work meticulously and with great respect for their craft, no matter how small or arbitrary some chores may seem.
The Taste of Things showcases this mindset in a way that is calm and warm, thus providing its audience with an enjoyment that follows the same pace as the cook(s) working. This serene vibe is partly achieved with its attention to detail on the meals created, whether it be their sounds, or how the camera flows around to show us minute details. And of course,, the time, setting and art form is perfect for a slow film like this one. I just wish the characters would give me more emotionally, as they felt more like vessels for the craft and the themes presented.
Still, I really like what is being told here, not only about the enjoyment and the commitment of creating something, but also the burden of knowing that this is a privilege that will not last.
