The Taste of Things

Here's a film with a very specific brief: sensual French cuisine as foreplay. Over decades, a celebrated gourmet and his talented cook deepen their bond in the kitchen and bedroom, though she declines to become his wife. He then attempts to woo her through the preparation of ever-more-elaborate meals. It's effective, apparently.
