Au Petit Margeury (or Une Affaire du Gout)
(Laurent Benegui/1995/France/95mins) Master chef Hippolyte marks his retirement by holding a stunning feast for friends, family and restaurant patrons on the last night of the old-fashioned family bistro’s closure. The many different characters recall their memories and gradually we see their place in the plot. A wonderful ensemble cast, dazzling script and mouthwatering food, whose preparation, cooking and consumption is a consumate art which echoes the classic Babette’s Feast (which also starred the luminous Audran). in double bill with Two Margaritas (Patricia Diaz/UK/1999/15 mins) Why not book for the French cookery demo linked to this film? |
