If you loved Umami, try Haute Cuisine
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Umami, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Haute Cuisine is
A single woman gets a job cooking for France’s president and discovers the price of high-stakes culinary diplomacy. After accepting a role as the Élysée kitchen’s resident chef, she navigates protocol, ego, and an official palate that prefers simplicity. The film serves up a tasteful slice of power dynamics with minimal flavor of its own.
