Justin Petrisek from Notre Dame discusses The Taste of Things (Tran Anh Hung, 2023)--the anti-Iron Chef film known for its gorgeous cinematography and the way it contemplates devotion and commitment. Starring Juliete Binoche as the masterful cuisinière who communicates through her exquisite meals, the film also asks, what does it mean to be a partner? Justin Petrisek is at Notre Dame and serves as the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture’s research & publications program manager. His current research follows the intersection of film, philosophy, religion, and culture with a focus on the papacy and the Catholic Church.
