TWO FILMS TOK : 2023

'' The Taste of Things ''

The foodie film to end all foodie films? Much of '' The Taste of Things '' consists of mouth watering French feasts being prepared, slowly and carefully, in an idyllic 19th-century kitchen.

As a side dish, there is a tender middle-aged romance between a brilliant chef [Benoit Magimel] and his faithful cook [ Juliette Binoche ].

'' Reality ''

The true story of a young whistleblower, Reality Winner [ Sydney Sweeney ], who was questioned in her home by FBI agents in 2017.

Every line of dialogues is drawn from recordings made at the time, so Tina Satter's drama has the naturalism of a documentary and the tension of a thriller.
