Laks says: “It was a lovely afternoon as we went for a wonderful meal at a local deli and then off to watch THE TASTE OF THINGS on the big screen. In a nutshell I loved it but would also agree with critics. Ultimately what I loved about the film is the patient depiction of an artist or artisan at work, much like watching an artist at work in What Do Artists Do All Do All Day? Speaking of the UK television, I was also reminded immediately of a fantastical and dark counterpoint to the film, a darker tale of a ‘consumer’ of the most exotic and finest of morsels in The Gourmet (1984) with Charles Gray that has been long lost and uploaded on YouTube.”
