Movie Info

Castella (Jean-Pierre Bacri) is a successful businessman caught behind the fast-changing times. More out of boredom than out of interest, he allows his wife Anglique (Christiane Millet) to drag him to a performance of Racine's "Bérénice." Much to his surprise, he is overwhelmed by the power and beauty of the lead actress, Clara (Anne Alvaro). Finally, these two polar opposites are forced together when Castella tries to learn English and his English teacher turns out to be Clara.

Audience Reviews for The Taste of Others

  • Feb 13, 2011
    Jean-Jacques, businessman gets smitten by Clara, actress and English teacher, and gets out of his depth amongst her arty friends. I liked this film. It showed a real grasp of the complexities of attraction and how one mans unrequited love is another woman's unappreciated attention. And it has a happy ending too. I'm a sucker for a happy ending..
