Le Gout des autres (2000) ***

Directed by Agnes Jaoui. With Jean-Pierre Bacri, Agnes Jaoui and Brigitte Catillon. Co-winner of the Grand Prix des Ameriques at this year's WFF, Le Gout des autres is a clever comedy of manners, gently poking fun at the social naiveté of some and the cruel sophistication of others. Starring Bacri as a philistine businessman who falls in love with a snobbish actress (Catillon), this little French gem happens to be both entertaining and amazingly profound.
