The Taste of Others
Movie Information
In Brief: Writer-actress Agnes Jaoui’s directorial debut is a deliciously funny and insightful comedy about people’s varied tastes and perceptions, especially perceptions of other people. There’s scarcely a false note in the film, which is impeccably photographed and directed in an unusual (for an essentially intimate film) yet intelligent use of wide-screen. The Taste of Others is by turns funny, touching and thought-provoking. It very much deserves to be seen by the widest possible audience. And here’s hoping that it’s merely the springboard for a fruitful career for Jaoui as a filmmaker. This excerpt was taken from a review by Ken Hanke published on Jan.1, 2000.
