The Taste of Others (2000)
Directed by Agnès Jaoui
Unpolished and ultra-pragmatic industrialist Jean-Jacques Castella reluctantly attends Racine's tragedy "Berenice" in order to see his niece play a bit part. He is taken with the play's strangely familiar-looking leading lady Clara Devaux. During the course of the show, Castella soon remembers that he once hired and then promptly fired the actress as an English language tutor. He immediately goes out and signs up for language lessons. Thinking that he is nothing but an ill-tempered philistine with bad taste, Clara rejects him until Castella charms her off her feet.

What critics compared The Taste of Others to
Of Jaoui's previous films, I've only seen Same Old Song, a wonderful musical comedy directed by the great Alain Resnais (Hiroshima, Mon Amour and Last Year at Marienbad).
