On May 10, Alliance Française of Durban’s CIné
Club is to present Le goût des autres/The
taste of the others. Entrance is free.
"An engaging, low-key and garrulous
French movie which is seductively indirect in the way it brings in its various
characters and narrative strands." - The Guardian
The film has received a César Award for
Best Film, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Writing in
2001. Oscar nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.
Three men, three women, opposites,
possibilities, and tastes. Castella owns an industrial steel barrel plant in
Rouen; Bruno is his flute-playing driver, Franck is his temporary bodyguard
while he negotiates a contract with Iranians, his wife Angélique does frou-frou
interior decorating and loves her dog. The conventional Castella hires a 40-year-old
actress, Clara, to tutor him in English, and he finds her and her Bohemian
lifestyle fascinating.
Is this love? What would she say if he
declared himself? Through Bruno, Franck meets Manie, a barmaid who deals hash.
They begin an affair. Are they in love? They joke about marriage. As the women
hold back, the men must make decisions.
Le
goût des autres/The taste of the others will be shown on May 10 at 17h30 for 18h00 at the Alliance
Française of Durban’s CIné Club. Directed by Agnès Jaoui, it is a French
version with English subtitles and lasts 108mins.
Food and refreshments available at Cash Bar
(Fusion French Café) Entrance is free.
