Trân Anh Hùng, who has a lengthy relationship with Grand Large, earned the coveted title of Best Director along with some of the strongest reviews at Festival de Cannes for his film The Pot Au Feu (La Passion de Dodin Bouffant). Loosely based on a novel, it portrays a slow-burning romance between esteemed cook Eugénie (Juliette Binoche) and Dodin (Magimel Benoit), the fine gourmet she has long worked for.

In Hùng’s own words, “the idea was to weave gastronomy into a love story”, which presented him with a unique filmmaking challenge. 🎥
