"The Pot-au-Feu": A Delicious French Gastromance with Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel.

The Pot-au-Feu, a new French art house food porn film directed by Tràn Anh Hùng, combines culinary marvels with a moving tale of middle-age love. Starring former real-life couple Benoît Magimel and Juliette Binoche, the nearly two-and-a-half-hour drama is filled with highbrow talk of wine pairings, the perfect sauce bourguignonne, and the gastronomic legacy of Auguste Escoffier, and yet remains highly watchable — thanks in part to the food itself. The film's plot, which is rather minimal, hinges on whether Eugénie will eventually say yes to Dodin, and the suspense gradually builds when we learn that she may also be seriously ill.

The movie holds its audience entirely on the pleasures of beauty, vicarious indulgence, and the human care inherent in haute cuisine, all to obviously mouthwatering but less expectedly moving effect.
