La Dégustation
Jacques (Bernard Campan) is divorced and runs a small wine shop on the verge of bankruptcy in a small French town. Hortense (Isabelle Carré) is also single, full of life and eager to find true love.
One day she walks into his store looking for a good drop of wine to share with a group of homeless people that she regularly cooks for, and before too long she has signed up for a tasting workshop at Jacques’ store.
The road to romance though, is not exactly smooth, especially when both of them are harbouring secrets – and nursing past hurts. Carré and Campan are both César award-winning actors and have convincing on-screen chemistry for an unlikely couple.
Just like a good wine, ‘The Tasting’ has a lasting finish, and is perfect for Valentine’s Day.
In conjunction with this film, Sandy Guthrie from our Education team is hosting the talk:
Uncorked - The History of Alcohol in Film
This talk (which needs to be booked separately) will include a wine-tasting of the New Park bar's wine selections, provided by Brighton-based Vegan wine supplier Seven Cellars.
