TENDER DEPICTION OF HOW PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE
April 30, 2024
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING "THE TASTE OF THINGS." THERE WAS SO MUCH CRITICISM OF THE FRENCH FILM BOARD WHEN THEY DECIDED TO SUBMIT THIS FILM INSTEAD OF "ANATOMY OF A FALL" FOR OSCAR CONSIDERATION. AND, WHEN "THE TASTE OF THINGS" FAILED TO GET A NOMINATION FOR BEST FEATURE FILM, IT CAME ACROSS AS A BAD RELECTION ON THE FILM. BUT, THOSE OF US WHO HAVE SEE BOTH FILMS REALIZE THAT THEY COULDN'T BE MORE DIFFERENT. "ANATOMY OF A FALL" IS A DEPICTION OF WHAT ONE HAPPENS WHEN ONE SPOUSE CAN'T CONTROL HIS RESENTMENT OVER THE OTHER SPOUSE'S SUCCESS, & HOW THAT ULTIMATELY DESTROYS THEIR RELATIONSHIP. ON THE OTHER HAND, "THE TASTE OF THINGS" DEPICTS HOW ONE PERSON CAN BE RELUCTANT TO GIVE IN TO HER FEELINGS OF LOVE FOR THE OTHER PERSON, & HOW THE OTHER PERSON CAN GET HER TO OVERCOME HER RELUCTANCE. I JUST WISH THAT JULIETTE BINOCHE & BENOIT MAGIMEL COULD HAVE GOTTEN NOMINATIONS FOR THEIR PERFORMANCES, & THAT ANH HUNG TRAN COULD HAVE BEEN NOMINATED FOR BEST DIRECTOR. I ALSO WISH THAT A THIRD FRENCH FILM FROM LAST YEAR- "THE NIGHT OF THE 12TH" & A SPANISH FILM CALLED "THE BEASTS" COULD HAVE BEEN ACKNOWLDGED BY THE ACADEMY IN SOME WAY.
