Sunday Supper

2023 has gifted us with two major additions to the growing canon of Great Films About Food, each in direct conversation with each other. The great observational documentarian Frederick Wiseman’s 4-hour immersion into the operation and output of a three-star Michelin restaurant in rural France, MENUS-PLAISIR LES TROISGROS (Dec 31-Jan 1), is an extension of the pioneering gourmet innovations on display in Trân Anh Hùng’s sumptuous period drama THE TASTE OF THINGS (opening Feb 14). Folded between these bookends is a five-course feast from the Greatest Films About Food canon. Set yourselves some dinner plans and join us on Sunday nights.

I AM LOVE
Sun, Feb 4 at 7:00pm

I AM LOVE

A languorous feast-for-the-senses Italian drama starring Tilda Swinton as an elegant but torn matriarch whose existence is shocked to the core when she falls quickly and deeply in love with a chef. Screening in 35mm
THE TASTE OF THINGS
Ends Thu, Mar 14

THE TASTE OF THINGS

Destined to be remembered as one of the great films about the meaning, texture and experience of food, this sumptuous, exceptionally well-crafted work, set in late 19th-century France, stars Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel as Eugénie, a cook, and Dodin, the gourmet chef she has been working with for 20 years.
MENUS-PLAISIRS LES TROISGROS
Thu, Jan 4 at 12:00pm, 7:00pm

MENUS-PLAISIRS LES TROISGROS

Esteemed documentarian Frederick Wiseman’s latest is a food-lover’s heaven — a long, behind-the-scenes excursion into the world of France’s venerable restaurant La Maison Troisgros, which has held three Michelin stars for more than five decades. A perfect film to end the year, or to start a new one. Post-film dinner plans are highly recommended.
BIG NIGHT
Sun, Jan 7 at 7:00pm

BIG NIGHT

A failing Italian restaurant run by two brothers gambles on one special night to try to save the business. Directed by Stanley Tucci and Campbell Scott, BIG NIGHT brings together an all-star cast in a five-course gourmet experience. Screening in 35mm
MY DINNER WITH ANDRE
Sun, Jan 21 at 7:00pm

MY DINNER WITH ANDRE

A conversation between a globe-trotting theater director and a playwright playfully explores ideas about art, theater and daily life. Playing variations on their own New York–honed personas, Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory dive in with introspective, intellectual gusto, and Louis Malle captures it all with a delicate, artful detachment. Screening in 35mm
BABETTE’S FEAST
Sun, Jan 28 at 7:00pm

BABETTE’S FEAST

The lovingly layered tale of a French housekeeper with a mysterious past who brings quiet revolution in the form of one exquisite meal to a circle of starkly pious villagers in late 19th-century Denmark. Screening in 35mm
