You will be my son

Caught this on a long haul NZ to LDN flight last month and thought it was just a stock film for French speaking/Francophile travellers but then saw it was being released in Dec in London.

Long haul flights and subtitled films aren't always the best mix but this was a highlight.
Not in any way a nostalgic, sentimental portrait of artisan winemakers but more a tough critique on patriarchal family structures in French (Bordeaux) winemaking. Plenty of great wine is mentioned and consumed throughout the movie.

Apparently attendees of the premier get a glass Clos Fourtet, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru from the vineyard featured in the movie.

Definitely one of the best wine based movies I’ve seen but then there aren’t that many - good or bad...

Edit - The wine promotion was mentioned by Jason Solomons in the guardian - talking about product placement http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2012/nov ... yng-landis

Internet video clips look very interesting. I hope it gets televised, 'cos I just can't face today's cinema format, noise and prices.
