Patton Oswalt voted early this year, and cast that vote for Kamala Harris. But, according to the “Ratatouille” star, he nearly voted for Donald Trump, simply because he’s “funny.”
Stopping by “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Monday night, Oswalt kicked things off by celebrating the fact that he already voted, bragging about the “I Voted!” sticker he received by doing so. He also regaled Kimmel with how he made his final decision.
“The wife and I woke up very early that morning. We had breakfast, we talked it through, and by five o’clock that evening, she had convinced me to vote for Kamala,” Oswalt explained.
Naturally, that cracked Kimmel up, considering Oswalt has been a vocal critic of Trump.
“I mean, look, he’s so funny,” Oswalt explained. “He’s just funny, I appreciate funny.”
Obviously, the actor was joking. In fact, he’s been such a supporter of...

Anyone can cook, but not everyone can turn a mischief of rats into a man-eating death squad.
The central premise of Ratatouille is one of those plots that, even 17 years after the film’s release, the internet can’t stop discussing, because it’s so novel and ridiculous that memes about it never get old. In the Pixar classic, a loser loner partners with an intelligent rat who helps him solve his career problems before the rodent recruits an entire horde of organized vermin who physically overpower the host’s enemies.
Now, that synopsis may read like the plot of a C- horror film, and that’s because it is — 36 years before Ratatouille made human-rat relationships cute and culinary, the cult favorite horror film Willard did something similar.

Anything and everything to do with the Hollywood revolution starts with George Lucas and Star Wars. The visionary director and certified genius from whose imagination the galactic empire was conceived took a lot of impossible leaps to make his dream a reality. Among those leaps were the foundation of Industrial Light & Magic and eventually, Pixar.

Twenty-five years before the release of DreamWorks Animation’s The Wild Robot, The Iron Giant charged into theaters.
Brad Bird, who worked on The Simpsons and later helmed Ratatouille and The Incredibles, made his feature directorial debut with the 1950s-set movie boasting a voice cast that included Vin Diesel, Jennifer Aniston and Harry Connick Jr.; it centered on a boy befriending an alien robot (Diesel) that the U.S. government sought to destroy.
Bird and Tim McCanlies’ script was based on Ted Hughes’ 1968 novel, originally published as The Iron Man. Hughes, who was married to novelist and poet Sylvia Plath until her death by suicide in 1963, wrote it as a bedtime story for their kids to help them grieve.
The Who’s Pete Townshend adapted Hughes’ book as his 1989 concept album The Iron Man: A Musical and was helping to develop a feature musical adaptation. Once the movie landed at Warner Bros. Animation with Bird attached,...

Pixar chief Pete Docter has revealed that director Brad Bird is hard at work on 'Incredibles 3'.The upcoming animated flick was announced recently at Disney's D23 showcase and the studio boss explained how the filmmaker is in the process of crafting the picture featuring the family of superheroes.He told Fandango: "Brad [Bird] is an amazing collaborator. He's so fiery and passionate. Different people work in different ways."He's a guy who needs a little more time to build up the steam to get the passion and the power going. I think we're at that point now. And we're not sharing any details right now, because it's still pretty malleable in terms of what the story is actually about."Docter also praised the filmmaker for incorporating "deeper sociological ideas" into his animated movies.He said: "The great thing about Brad's films, when you look at 'Ratatouille', on one level,...

Disney has made a mint over the past 20 years by remaking its classic animated films as live-action movies. While the reboots are often savaged by critics, the box-office success of Will Smith’s Aladdin, Emma Watson’s Beauty and the Beast and Jon Favreau’s Lion King guarantees the practice will continue for years to come. That’s not just speculation either — live-action versions of Moana, Lilo and Stitch and a Lion King sequel will all hit theaters by next year.
Live-action remakes of nostalgic childhood favorites are money in the bank, but despite the recent (relative) failures of Onward, Seeing Red and Luca, don’t expect Pixar to jump on that Disney bandwagon. Pete Docter, Pixar’s chief creative officer, told Time not to expect live-action adaptations of Ratatouille or any other Pixar gem, even if fans clamor for it. “This might bite me in the butt for saying it,...

Despicable Me director Chris Renaud has zero plans for a live-action Minions movie, and he hopes to keep it that way.
The filmmaker was recently asked in an interview with Film Hounds magazine if he was ever interested in seeing the Minions make the jump from animation to live-action, given Disney’s success with it.
“God, I hope not. That’s my answer,” Renaud said in response. “I mean if there were conversations like that, I haven’t been privy to them. But for me, what defines the world is that it is animated and it allows us to get away with what we get away with. Like locking a minion in the vending machine, or you know, blowing up Gru (Steve Carell) when he attacks Vector (Jason Segel). These are really cartoon ideas, like what would have been in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.”

The slapstick-loving Minions from “Despicable Me” have helped power the franchise to $5.4 billion and counting at the worldwide box office, making it the highest-grossing animated series in history. Chris Renaud, who directed the first two “Despicable Me” films and returned this year for the fourth sequel, recently spoke to Film Hounds magazine and was asked about Disney’s trend of turning its animated classics into live-action movies. Would he ever want to see the Minions jump to that format?

The Olympic host city is one of cinema’s favourite places, whether real or romanticised, in films ranging from Breathless to Ratatouille and La Haine
The Paris Olympics are being held at the very time of year when the City of Light is least desirable as a destination, as all those inhabitants who vacate the city in August for their summer getaways well know. Cole Porter might have recommended Paris when it sizzles, but when it sweats? An acquired taste. Sometimes the city is best enjoyed from a distance – via the Olympics coverage if you wish, or the surfeit of films that have made Paris a veritable capital of cinema.
Like any tourist, there’s no shame in starting with the obvious: Parisians may roll their eyes at the airbrushed Montmartre in Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Amélie (2001), but this gaudy romantic bonbon still has its winsome charms. It’s only a...

Brad Bird started his career with some of the most iconic animated features including The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille. His films have been so memorable that they took no time to become cult classics among the fans of the genre. Interestingly, the director also became an iconic voice actor when he was forced to voice the character of Edna Mode in The Incredibles.
Edna Mode in The Incredibles | Pixar Animation Studios
Edna “E” Mode from The Incredibles is regarded as one of the most memorable Pixar characters ever. Despite her brief roles in both installments, the fashion designer for the superheroes became an instant fan favorite. According to Bird, he only provided a temporary voice to the character before everyone realized that nobody else could incorporate that desired sassiness in Edna’s words.

When it comes to Pixar’s acclaimed filmography, the one name that stands out is Brad Bird, responsible for two of the most acclaimed features the iconic studio has to offer. Both Ratatouille and The Incredibles are iconic in their own right and are considered by many to be two of the best films the medium of CG animation has to offer.
However, the director might not have landed this feat had he not hit it out of the park with his first animated feature, for which Bird almost got screwed over by the studio.

Often considered one of the best films of the ’90s and one of the best animated releases in general, the emotional prowess of The Iron Giant can grow the Grinch’s heart three sizes.

The infamous Willy Wonka experience is making its way to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival as a parody musical. More here.
There are few films as universally beloved as 1971’s Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory (pictured). Despite author Roald Dahl reportedly hating the film, the public took it to their hearts, with classic songs like Pure Imagination entering the public consciousness.
Even though we now how three screen Wonkas – Gene Wilder, Johnny Depp and Timothee Chalamet (four if you count this) – Wilder’s Wonka is generally considered the definitive version. Tim Burton’s 2005 film, while closer in tone to the book, divided fans, not least due to Depp’s portrayal of Wonka, although it’s certainly true that Tim Burton’s visual style and updated special effects bring the chocolate factory to life in a way the 1971 film couldn’t.

In fact, those are three key areas that management also sees as core upside opportunities for the combined company. After all, Skydance Games will add a key entertainment growth area to the Paramount story, while the merged firm’s scale in animation and sports will be boosted.

“Inside Out 2” roared into cinema in June, becoming Pixar’s highest-grossing film in a debut weekend of all time, while its current worldwide haul at this time of writing stands at just over one billion.
The first movie — one of the most ingenious films of this century — took audiences inside the head of young Riley as she navigated a move to a new city while her emotions tried to guide her through the move in her head. This second film brings back those emotions as Riley goes through her teenage years. But Joy and Sadness and the gang have to deal with several new emotions in headquarters, including Anxiety, Embarrassment, and Ennui.
But while the film marches towards $1 billion at the box office, could it also be marching towards awards glory? Well, animated flicks don’t get the justice they deserve when it comes to the Academy Awards. So often,...

For fans of the 2014 sci-fi action film "Edge of Tomorrow," the wait for a sequel has been long and full of disappointment. For a while there in 2022 it seemed like Warner Bros. might make a TV show that would serve as a sequel/spinoff, but two years later there still haven't been any updates. And though there've been plenty of rumors of a sequel movie in development, we've still gone ten years now without any official announcement.
Admittedly, it makes sense that "Edge of Tomorrow" would take a while to get a sequel greenlit. It wasn't a huge hit when it first came out; thanks to its $175 million budget, its $370 million worldwide box office earnings were considered a disappointment. It also doesn't help that the two main leads, Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, have been so busy over the past decade. Even if the studio knew exactly which direction they wanted to take the sequel,...

Look out, Benoit Blanc! Jennifer Lawrence is prepping an original murder mystery feature at AppleTV+. After studios fought for the package like tossing a bone to a pack of rabid hounds, Apple Original Films emerged as the victor of The Wives, a film project starring and produced by Jennifer Lawrence.
Much like the film’s genre, details about the plot remain a mystery. However, word around the Hollywood water cooler suggests the film takes inspiration from the Real Housewives reality franchise. The script was written by Michael Breslin and Patrick Foley (Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical).
If you walked outside your house and threw a rock, it would likely land on the site of one of Jennifer Lawrence’s upcoming projects. She has six ventures in various stages of development and production, including Sue, a biopic about the Hollywood super-agent Sue Mengers. Initially, Mengers was a secretary to William Morris,...

Well, there goes Josh O’Connor’s dream of starring in a live-action “Ratatouille.”
After the “Challengers” and “Knives Out 3” star voiced his desire to bring Alfredo Linguini to life onscreen (“Ratatouille” is one of the few films that make O’Connor cry), Pixar’s Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter thwarted any chance of a live-action remake. And that’s not just for “Ratatouille,” but all of Pixar’s catalog.
For Pixar, live-action is a dish best served, well, never.
“This might bite me in the butt for saying it, but it sort of bothers me,” Docter told Time when asked about live-action remakes. (The question was teed up with the O’Connor-in-“Ratatouille” fan campaign.) “I like making movies that are original and unique to themselves. To remake it, it’s not very interesting to me personally.”
Plus, a live-action remake would require a CGI talking rat, which Docter...

If anyone’s created any animated magic in the West, it’s Disney and Pixar. Although connected since 2006 (Pixar started off as an independent studio before being acquired by Disney), the two studios have had different policies for a while, but while they still release films somewhat independently, a balance has been found and it is now more difficult to tell a Disney production from a Pixar one. Recently, we have reported on Pixar having to rethink its release policies and how the whole studio is relying on the success of Inside Out 2. But it’s not just the studio, really; the whole film industry is relying on the success of Inside Out 2 after last year’s box office failures, as the animated sequel is posed to revive the theatre scene and bring in the cash.

“Hey, kids! Let’s go to the multiplex and check out that animated movie about a moderately talented teenage girl trying out for a place in a slightly older ice-hockey team,” said practically no American parent to the delight of their children ever. Yet this is the path that Pixar have chosen for the sequel to 2015’s Inside Out, a twee but nevertheless thoughtful film that sought to sort out the jumble of emotions inside an 11-year-old girl’s mind as she adapted to life in a strange new city. This time round, our heroine is settled in, facing another less seismic yet much more personal change when she is forced to choose between doing what might be best for her, long-term, and doing what is right.
Although it’s been nine years since the original, Riley, now voiced by Kensington Tallman, has only aged two. And when the film starts, her five key emotions — Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Anger (Lewis Black), Fear (Tony Hale) and Disgust (Liza Lapira) — are carrying on as usual, cheerleading Riley’s progress as a rising star on the ice-hockey rink. This time round, Joy, is the den mother, keeping all the others in check and prioritizing Riley’s “sense of self”, which, though it might sound abstract, is an actual, physical thing that she’s very protective of.
This idyll is interrupted when a red button, previously unnoticed on Joy’s control deck, makes itself violently known, waking all the emotions in the middle of the night. Riley has turned 13, and the puberty alarm is sounding, to the consternation of the emotions — especially Anger and Sadness — who find themselves amplified to previously unknown levels. This all coincides with Riley being invited to an ice-hockey summer camp, where she will be punching above her weight with older players and is about to find out that her two best friends will be leaving her anyways to go to a different school.
To Joy’s dismay, a demolition team moves in to tear down HQ, and in come the new team of emotions: Anxiety (Maya Hawke), Envy (Ayo Edebiri), Embarrassment (Paul Walter Hauser) and Ennui (Adèle Exarchopoulos). Anxiety — played very, very well by newcomer Hawke — makes her presence felt immediately, and her humble but pragmatic personality seems charming and even quite reasonable. But Anxiety’s needs grow, leading her to stage a coup that sends the other emotions, literally, to the back of Riley’s mind. As a result, Riley gives in to her own imagined peer pressure, ghosting her friends to curry favor with local sports star Val (Lilimar).
Which is where Inside Out 2 starts to come unstuck, since, of all the new emotions, only Ennui — “Eet’s what you would call boredom,” drawls Exarchopoulos — is really anything new to a developing child. And what happens next is a long slog in such a relatively short film, as, in lieu of anything else actually happening, Joy leads her team back to take control of Riley’s emotions. You could be forgiven for thinking that this journey home will be a picaresque riot, a colorful flexing of the collective Pixar imagination, but there’s not much fun in this 13-year-old’s mind. (Really? A parade of future careers? And being a Supreme Court judge is in that mix?)
Ultimately, the battle is over the control of Riley’s conscience, but seeing as there’s never been any serious dramatic conflict in this kind of family fare since High School Musical did away with it altogether, it’s pretty clear where a Disney production is going to go with that. So, really, you end up with a movie about a teenage girl playing junior-league ice hockey, while a lot of excitable animated characters — yellow, blue, green, whatever — chatter on and on about it.
But what you don’t get, sadly, is any sense of thought, which, by now, Riley should be capable of assembling. While it does suggest that Riley’s emotions combine in ways that guide her, Inside Out 2 stops short of assembling emotions into intelligence. Which might sound like a harsh takeaway for what’s essentially a kids’ movie, but the result is that Riley just doesn’t seem to have any agency of her own; she’s more like the malleable chef in Ratatouille than the kind-hearted flesh-and-blood teen her emotions have to keep telling us she is.
Battle-weary parents of surly teens will have some fun here and there, especially when Ennui’s blasé influence opens up a “sar-chasm” in Riley’s brain that makes everything sound, well, sarcastic. But, when all’s said and done, the stakes are so minor, it’s hard to imagine anyone will leave this desperate to see an Inside Out 3.

It looks like Pixar doesn’t plan to follow in Disney’s footsteps when it comes to live-action remakes.
Disney has been on a whirlwind of live-action films like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid with many more including Moana and Mufasa: The Lion King slated to arrive. But unlike its parent company, Pixar Animation Studios, especially Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter, isn’t keen on going down that road.

Sure, there have been some successful live-action reimaginings in the past and Jon Favreau’s remake of The Lion King stands testament to the same. But Docter has a rather stellar reason for steering clear of live-action adaptations and maybe, it’s precisely what Disney needs to hear.

Ankama, the French company behind the cult favorite adult animated feature “Mutafukaz” and video game franchises such as “Dofus” and “Wakfu,” has acquired a minority stake in Inthebox, a thriving Annecy-based animation studio.
The alliance will allow Ankama to “fast-track its production pipeline and benefit from Inthebox’s expertise with different techniques, such as 3D animation,” Ankama’s co-founder Anthony Roux told Variety in a conversation with Inthebox’s co-founders Mathieu Marin and Madjid Chamekh (pictured). “Even if they also do 2D and stop-motion projects, they have a know-how in 3D which we don’t have,” Roux continued.
Roux said that working with 3D animation opens many doors that are no longer accessible to 2D projects. “In France, there are still people working in 2D but as soon as you want to make a bit of money or be slightly more commercial it has to be in 3D,” Roux said,...

Pixar boss Pete Docter has dismissed the prospect of the studio doing live-action remakes of their classic animated films.A viral campaign has been launched for a live-action version of Pixar's 2007 film 'Ratatouille' but Docter has no intention of making it a reality.The animator told Time magazine: "No, and this might bite me in the butt for saying it, but it sort of bothers me. I like making movies that are original and unique to themselves. To remake it, it's not very interesting to me personally."The Pixar chief added that making a live-action film about a cooking rat "would be tough" and explained that the animation genre provides more scope for creativity.Referring to the studio's 2009 flick 'Up', Docter said: "So much of what we create only works because of the rules of the (animated) world."So if you have a human walk into a house that floats,...

Josh O’Connor won’t be playing Alfredo Linguini anytime soon. Pixar chief creative officer Pete Docter said this week that the animation-to-live-action craze “sort of bothers me.”
“This might bite me in the butt for saying it, but it sort of bothers me,” Docter told Time. “I like making movies that are original and unique to themselves. To remake it, it’s not very interesting to me personally.”
Docter’s comments came in response to a question about whether he’d seen the trend online campaigning for Josh O’Connor — who has long spoken about his love for Pixar’s 2007 hit Ratatouille — to play a live-action protagonist Alfredo Linguini.
Docter said the casting probably couldn’t happen — plus, it might be difficult to make a “live-action rat cute,” he said.
The latter issue spans across most of Pixar’s canon. “So much of what we create only works because of the rules of the [animated] world,...

You sickos have finally done it. Forced us into a conversation we thought was reserved for socials and online forums but is now turning mainstream. Are you happy? Do you feel proud of yourselves? It all started innocently enough, according to Vulture, when a commenter posted on a Q&a with Josh O’Connor in 2020, saying, “Josh could easily play Alfredo Linguini in [a] ‘Ratatouille’ movie.”
Not much was made of the comment initially, but in 2021, O’Connor admitted in an interview with Odessa Young that “Ratatouille” holds a soft spot in his heart and is one of the few films that can get him crying. Years later, he would add to this as he was making and marketing his recent films “La Chimera” and “Challengers,” saying Zendaya was a fan of ‘Ratatouille’ as well and that she and co-star Mike Faist would have viewing parties of it with him in between filming.

Pixar fans who have already been there for a while are aware of the company’s love for Easter eggs and small and sometimes even hardly noticeable plot details that are in fact direct references to Pixar’s other movies. The tradition entailed a great variety of fans’ theories and one of them is getting trendy thanks to some astonishing revelations.
The theory developed by Jon Negroni more than 10 years ago suggests that all the stories that Pixar has ever created — be that Up, Monsters, Inc., Ratatouille or Inside Out — are actually happening within the same universe.
Negroni’s surmise has received yet another confirmation when Pixar released a brand new teaser trailer for Inside Out 2 that featured one specific element coming from the studio’s 2022’s film Turning Red.
Is Bing Bong a Monster from Monsters Inc.?
But Inside Out seems to be much more profound in terms of such intersections.

Jerry Seinfeld’s Unfrosted is loosely based on the invention of Pop-Tarts. Seinfeld’s feature directorial debut uses a shot inspired by the Steven Spielberg classic of 1975, Jaws. In the film, Spielberg uses the Dolly Zoom shot, which the Seinfeld creator has copied in his upcoming Netflix comedy. Seinfeld opened up about how such classic cinematic shots influenced him as a filmmaker.

Dan Wallin, the music scoring engineer who recorded such classic film scores as “Spartacus,” “Bullitt,” “The Wild Bunch” and “Out of Africa,” died early Wednesday in Hawaii. He was 97.
Twice Oscar-nominated for best sound (1970’s “Woodstock” and 1976’s “A Star Is Born”), he won a 2009 Emmy for sound mixing on the Academy Awards telecast and received two additional Emmy nominations in the sound mixing category.
But it was Wallin’s skill behind the console, recording and mixing musical scores for movies and TV, that won him legions of fans among nearly all of Hollywood’s top composers and ensured steady employment for more than half a century.
He recorded the music for an estimated 500 films, including those for “Bonnie and Clyde,” “Cool Hand Luke” and “Finian’s Rainbow” in the 1960s; “The Way We Were,” “Blazing Saddles,” “Nashville,” “King Kong” and “Saturday Night Fever” in the 1970s; “Somewhere in Time,” “The Right Stuff...

Today was the Disney annual shareholder meeting. One of the more odd claims that Disney CEO Bob Iger made involved a question regarding Universal Orlando’s upcoming Epic Universe theme park.
Epic Universe will open in 2025, and Disney has not made many announcements for Walt Disney World outside of rethemes, stage shows, and odd upcoming attractions like Smellephants on Parade.
During the meeting, a question was posed to Iger about the upcoming competition.
With Epic Universe opening up in Orlando in 2025, why hasn’t Disney prepared anything or placed more than just a handful of attractions in the pipeline to be ready for this in 2025 at Walt Disney World?
Iger responded by claiming that Disney had known about Epic Universe for years, and that its expansions, going back seven years, were in response to it.
Iger said, “Thank you very much for your question but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

In the new issue of the Film Stories magazine, we spoke to The Inventor director Jim Capobianco. Here’s a little taster of that chat.
Delightful and eccentric stop-motion movie The Inventor is the first feature film from Jim Capobianco, the director of Pixar’s Ratatouille short, Your Friend The Rat.
I recently had the pleasure to speak with him at length for Film Stories magazine – order your copy now, go on, why don’t you. The interview was so lengthy, in fact, that lots of interesting bits were left on the cutting room floor.
What follows are two short sections that might be of particular interest. Here, not only does Jim explain why he found it hard to get Italian producers to back his film about the great Italian Leonardo da Vinci, but he also answers my questions about casting Stephen Fry, Matt Berry and Daisy Ridley in light...

U.S. director and producer Robert Rippberger, who recently wrapped sci-fi thriller “Renner” with Frankie Muniz, is headed to the European Film Market in Berlin to launch the sales unit of his banner Sie Films. Its slate will be fronted by his next project, the horror thriller “Monstrosity.”
“Monstrosity,” which is currently in pre-production, is a creature feature that Rippberger will produce and direct. To create its titular monsters, Rippberger recruited concept artist Aaron Sims, whose work includes “Stranger Things,” “Ready Player One” and “Wonder Woman 1984.” Production on the film is expected to kick off later this year in one of the Morgan International full-service special effects facilities in Europe. Writer Sabir Pirzada is producing “Monstrosity” alongside Rippberger.
“Monstrosity” opens on a young village boy who goes missing down a mine shaft. His father blames a strange family in the neighboring house, but of course far more is at play.

National Geographic just launched A Real Bug’s Life, a premium wildlife documentary based on the Pixar movie.
Courteney Monroe, president of National Geographic Global Television Networks, said that this is only the start in terms of it adapting Disney IP.
Monroe was asked whether she could see a real-life version of Ratatouille and said it was a “good idea”.
“There is such a rich IP to mine and there’s so much shared DNA between the Nat Geo and Disney brands that we are exploring lots of opportunities,” she said at the TCA press tour. “You can imagine maybe a real Finding Nemo and other franchises there, where there’s so many families with young children on the Disney+ platform that would gravitate to the real world storytelling around this franchise.”
Earlier this morning, Nat Geo renewed A Real Bug’s Life, narrated by Awkwafina, for a second season, due to launch in the fall.

Last year, Hollywood took stock of the potential — and dangers — of generative artificial intelligence. As use of the human-mimicking chatbots evolved into a sticking point in the strikes, creators took to the courts, accusing AI firms of mass-scale copyright infringement after their works were allegedly used as training materials. In the backdrop of these legal volleys, a question stands out: Why haven’t any major studios sued to protect their intellectual property like other rights holders?
One answer involves the possibility that they’re still negotiating with AI companies, with the aim of striking a licensing deal. A grimmer scenario involves the potential that they want to harness the tools for themselves to cut labor costs. Another involves the possibility that they’re biding their time to compile evidence and keep an eye on how the other cases are progressing.

At the intersection of interests for cinephiles and foodies lie great movies about food. Films like "Big Night," "Ratatouille," "Babette's Feast," "Tampopo," and "The Trip" movies occupy a special place in the stomachs -- er, minds -- of viewers, and I'm pleased to report that another movie has instantly catapulted into that hallowed pantheon.
"The Taste of Things," from director Trần Anh Hùng, received a limited theatrical release earlier this year for awards consideration (it's the French contender for Best International Feature at the 2024 Oscars), but it won't actually receive a bigger release in the United States until February of 2024. Still, for those who vibe with the types of movies I listed above, this will be a major event at the movies. And aside from being only a great movie about food, it's also a great movie, period -- it's technically one of the best of 2023, but even if you...
