A Transient Taste

About This Movie

A Transient Taste is one of those quiet gems that sneaks up on you. It’s all about the Rossi family, working tirelessly in their greenhouse, but there’s this heavy undercurrent of longing. The mother, Antonia, usually so vibrant, has lost her sense of taste, which really serves as a metaphor for the family's struggles. The pacing is gentle, allowing the viewer to soak in the lush visuals of the tomatoes, almost like characters themselves. Félie's journey to bring back that lost taste—well, it’s touching without being overly sentimental. The performances feel genuine, not forced. There's this sort of warmth in the atmosphere, yet it doesn’t shy away from the deeper emotional layers. Definitely an interesting exploration of family dynamics and culinary passion.
