Overview
Charles Duchemin, a well-known gourmet and publisher of a famous restaurant guide, is waging a war against fast food entrepreneur Tri- catel to save the French art of cooking. After having agreed to appear on a talk show to show his skills in naming food and wine by taste, he is confronted with two disasters: his son wants to become a clown rather than a restaurant tester and he, the famous Charles Duchemin, has lost his taste!

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A rollicking French comedy about a prestigious food critic's crisis of taste, both literal and professional, that spirals into increasingly ridiculous complications involving his clown-obsessed son and a fast-food mogul. It's a charming, energetic farce that delights in physical comedy and the absurdity of culinary pretension meeting real-world chaos.
