Ratatouille is a Pixar feast. The tale of Remy, a rat who dreams of becoming an excellent chef, is a delight to experience in all five senses. One particular character \u2014 Anton Ego, the restaurant critic \u2014 brings A. O. Scott back to the heart of his own work as a New York Times\u2019 chief film critic. He says Ratatouille changed how he understands the work of criticism. This conversation is not just about food; it\u2019s a reminder to return to our love for our craft \u2014 whether that\u2019s food, movies, or something else altogether.\n\nScott is a chief film critic for the New York Times and is the Distinguished Professor of Film Criticism at Wesleyan University. His book is \u201cBetter Living Through Criticism: How to Think About Art, Pleasure, Beauty, and Truth.\u201d\n\nFind the transcript at https://onbeing.org/series/this-movie-changed-me/\nSubscribe to our weekly newsletter at https://onbeing.org/tmcmletter/
