A TASTE FOR ESPIONAGE

​

A Taste for Espionage uncovers Julia Child’s extraordinary—and hilariously unexpected—wartime adventures with the OSS. Blending historical accuracy with a playful tone, the film reimagines her spy training and covert missions through witty reenactments, vintage-style animations, and interviews with historians and chefs who explore her dual legacy in the kitchen and the shadows of espionage. From her work on shark-repellent research to her knack for turning chaos into triumph, the film serves up a deliciously funny and inspiring portrait of a woman who brought the same passion to clandestine work as she did to French cuisine.

​

A Taste for Espionage (Le goût de l'espionnage) dévoile les aventures extraordinaires - et hilarantes et inattendues - de Julia Child au sein de l'OSS pendant la guerre. Alliant l'exactitude historique à un ton ludique, le film réimagine sa formation d'espionne et ses missions secrètes à travers des reconstitutions pleines d'esprit, des animations de style ancien et des interviews d'historiens et de chefs qui explorent son double héritage dans la cuisine et dans l'ombre de l'espionnage. De ses travaux de recherche sur les répulsifs à requins à son talent pour transformer le chaos en triomphe, le film dresse le portrait délicieusement drôle et inspirant d'une femme qui a apporté la même passion au travail clandestin qu'à la cuisine française.
