Have you ever seen a movie that’s “delicious”? A movie that makes you want to eat?

Steve, a Francophile student, shares his film review of "Délicieux" (2021)

The story takes place just before the French Revolution, around 1780… The main character is a chef who works for a duke but gets fired because some of the guests don’t like his food.🥲

In fact, the chef loves to innovate and create new dishes. Since he’s out of work, he returns to his parents’ home—they used to run a coaching inn—but discovers they’ve passed away. Eventually, a woman comes to his house and asks him to train as a cook.🙏

They open a restaurant together, but at that time it’s a groundbreaking idea because the concept doesn’t exist… 🎉One of the film’s themes is equality for all when it comes to fine dining—not just for the nobility… 🤔They’ll face pressure from the Duke to close their establishment and return to the castle… Will they resist? You’ll find out by watching the film.😁

I highly recommend seeing this film because the performances by the actors, particularly Grégory Gadebois and Isabelle Carré, are extraordinary.🥳

It’s a must-see for the cuisine, French history, and the magnificent provincial setting.💐

I watched this film in its original French version with English subtitles. Sometimes there are words or phrases you don’t understand, but that’s okay because you can still grasp 👍the meaning of the story. It’s wonderful to hear the music of the French language and to immerse yourself in the French way of life. 🇫🇷
