Bozeman Film Society continues its season with a screening of the critically acclaimed feature, The Taste of Things. The event will be held at Downtown Bozeman’s Ellen Theatre on Wednesday, April 10th. Ahn Hung Tran’s Cannes winner for Best Director will screen at 7pm.
Set in France in 1889, the film follows the life of Dodin Bouffant as 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. Starring Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel, the film is Rated PG-13 with a runtime of 142 min.
“The Taste of Things is not just a sensual experience for the characters, but for the viewer as well. And it goes beyond the food.” – Baltimore Magazine
Following on Wednesday, May 1st, the Ellen hosts a screening of Problemista from director Julio Torres, who also wrote the film’s screenplay and is featured in a starring role. The film will be shown at 7pm.
Emmy nominee Julio Torres (Saturday Night Live) writes, directs and stars as Alejandro, an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador who dreams of bringing his ideas to New York City – but as his work visa is running out, a job assisting an erratic art-world outcast (Tilda Swinton, Suspiria) might be his only hope to stay in the country. Rated R, the film runs 98 min.
Deadline Hollywood Daily raves, “Julio Torres takes a simple story about immigration and human connection, and turned it into a comedic, surrealist fantasy that serves as an epic critique of capitalism.”
The Taste of Things and Problemista screen at 7pm on April 10th and May 1st, respectively, at the Ellen. Wine, beer and concessions will be available prior to the screenings. Find ticketing access and learn more about the current season at www.bozemanfilmsociety.org – and Keep ‘Em Flickering! •
