Très lent… génial je pense pour les amateurs d’ASMR 😁 Donne envie de se mettre à la cuisine au moins le temps du film
Synopsis
Set in 1889 France, Dodin Bouffant is a chef living with his personal cook and lover Eugénie. They share a long history of gastronomy and love but Eugénie refuses to marry Dodin, so the food lover decides to do something he has never done before: cook for her.
Community Reviews
Viewers are captivated by 'The Pot au Feu's' sumptuous culinary scenes and the nuanced performances of Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel. The film's meticulous attention to gastronomic detail and its slow, contemplative pace evoke a strong sensory experience, though some find this pacing overly languid. The lack of background music and minimal dialogue enhance the focus on the visual and auditory textures of cooking, creating a feast for the senses but also a challenge for those seeking more dynamic storytelling.
👍 Culinary scenes are a visual feast.
👎 Pacing may be too slow for some.

4 reviewsUn film pas vraiment notable, étonnant, sans réel scénario, ni début ni fin, juste un passage nourrissant d’un homme passionné entre les plats culinaire et Eugénie, entre compagnie et réel épouse, les deux communiquent via la passion des plats gastronomiques, l’amour n’est pas que verbale mais peu se transmettre sous d’autres forme.
