Upon learning that her boyfriend considers prostituting himself to a wealthy heiress and making Madeleine his mistress, the latter briefly considers suicide, but opts for going to the movies with Pauline instead.

High Desert‘s season finale went out with a literal, yet very unpredictable bang.
At the top of the episode, Peg’s in a bit of hot water and that couldn’t be any more of an understatement. She and the guru are tied up in the back of the Gattchis’ truck, and to make matters worse (or I guess it depends on your perspective, maaaan), they’re both “tripping balls.” In the middle of the desert, Bob finally reveals that Donna fell down the stairs and impaled herself on a trophy. A total accident, he says. After convincing Nick...

Last time Benoît Magimel appeared in the Cannes competition, a vision in Albert Serra’s Pacifiction, he played a foreign diplomat who stalked an island of French Polynesia like a trashy king. If Serra’s otherworldy film told a cautionary tale about feckless Euro-decadence, Magimel’s latest is more like a revelry. Adapted from Marcel Rouf’s 1924 novel The Passionate Epicure, The Pot-au-Feu is a film about the pleasures of preparing food and consuming it, the idea of cooking as an act of giving and even of love––if a leitmotif exists in this film’s script, it is the sigh of ecstasy.
The Pot-au-Feu is directed by Tran Anh Hung, a Vietnamese filmmaker who broke out at Cannes in 1993 with The Smell of Green Papaya. For Pot-au-Feu, Magimel stars as Dodin Bouffant, a restaurant owner and famed gourmet––or, as one character christens him, “the Napoleon of the culinary...
