La Passion de Dodin Bouffant

1885. Peerless cook Eugenie has worked for the famous gourmet Dodin for the last 20 years. As time went by, the practice of gastronomy and mutual admiration turned into a romantic relationship. Their association gives rise to dishes, one more delicious than the next, that confound even the world’s most illustrious chefs. But Eugenie is fond of her freedom and has never wanted to marry Dodin. So, he decides to do something he has never done before: cook for her.

Amidst the passionate hustle and bustle of a kitchen, Tran Anh Hung stages an extraordinary and literally appetizing love story about the art of seduction and the sensuality of food. In addition to the enchanting Juliette Binoche and the French acting star Benoît Magimel, the culinary works of art are particularly impressive - created by none other than Michelin-starred chef Pierre Gagnaire. "La Passion de Dodin Bouffant" was awarded the prize for Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival.
