In the months since it has premiered at Cannes, “The Taste of Things,” a lushly romantic love letter to French cooking, has quickly been anointed one of the best food-focused movies ever made. The film, now playing in selected theaters, revolves around the romance between Juliette Binoche’s Eugénie and wealthy gourmet Dodin Bouffant, played by Binoche’s former real-life partner Benoît Magimel. The story of the accomplished cook and her boss and lover simmers along leisurely until it comes to a full boil, all the while showcasing a cornucopia of lovingly-photographed products of the French countryside, from pears and cheeses to veal roast and truffled chicken.

Funko, the collectible toy company known for its popular Funko Pop figurines, has laid off a large chunk of staffers across its company, including roughly half the staff at the Austin-based poster and collectibles company Mondo, several individuals with knowledge of the layoffs told IndieWire.
