I'm delighted and proud to introduce him as Academy Award winner, and the Oscar goes to

the winner. It's a tie. And any little girl who's practicing their speech on the

telly, you never know. My up. I just want an Oscar.

I am Katie Rich. I'm here for today's interview episode with David Canfield.

Hello. And with Rebecca Ford. Hi. Hollywood is very much heading into the holidays, which I think makes it a great time to

talk to some stars from movies that people may need to catch up on in the coming weeks. So we're going to start

with you, David, and your conversation with Juliet Binoche, who is in a film that premiered a can under

a different title is now being released as the Taste of Things. And it's one of those movies that might not have been on

people's radars. They didn't know what to make of it. It's a French drama or sorry, a French light comedy. You'll have to tell me. But everyone who sees it walks up being like, wow, I

loved this. Like I really loved this. And I think Juliet Binoche has been right at the center of some of those raves.

Yeah, the movie has snuck up on pretty much everybody I know. And that's the big reason why is it's got a ton of heart. And I think that

when you hear a movie about French cooking in the description, it kind of delivers on exactly what you want, which is this

unbelievable degree of food porn. But thrown in with this unbelievably tender romance between

Juliet Binoche's character Yuzhani, who is a cook, and this restaurant tour that she works for Dodon, played by Benoit Meshamel.

And they have unreal chemistry. The sensuality of the food being cooked around them just adds to the atmosphere. They filmed in a castle in the

bar valley. I don't know what else you could ask for. David, you say they have unreal chemistry, but I think they have real

chemistry because they know each other and have known each other in real life.

Yeah, they used to be a couple. They share a child. They had not worked together in a very long time. And we talk about

that Juliet, of course, an Oscar winner who has made a lot of very demanding, particularly European movies over the

I think was uniquely nervous about walking into a project that would demand a really particular kind

of emotional vulnerability. And then there's also just a practical question of how will being in love with this

character feel given their history. But she describes it in really therapeutic terms, the actual experience of filming with him.
