La passion de Dodin Bouffant (2023)
Style, taste, but..
15 February 2024 - 4 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
Lovingly filmed (in natural light?), with much clatter and sizzle, it will appeal to foodies. The plot is not entirely predictable, partly because it is as fragile as a sheet of buttered and baked filo (?) pastry.
Every shot is like a painting. In particular, an outside meal successfully channels Renoir.
The main characters seem to stand for male, female, child archetypes. But not a hell of a lot happens. Just let it wash over you. Questions about who these people are and what happened to the poor people (and the washing up) are elided in a rather dated way. And don't go on an empty stomach-unless you don't eat meat.
