As far as winemaking is concerned, Back to Burgundy is rich in vistas of the fabled côtes; stuffed with oenophile info... and studded with casual tastings of wines that most of us can only dream of.
Images of the fecund countryside or the siblings stomping grapes together may be enough to besot the senses, but beware the murky residue that can cloud the mind.
Three siblings in their thirties... return after the death of their father to the family vineyard where they grew up. It's a modest yet charming legacy: quel domaine!
...many eye-boggling shots of the vistas covered entirely by fields of grapes that are, in themselves, worth the price of admission...a superb film capturing the ambience of winemaking magnificently and the family disputes that accompany it.
Really, why watch this rather privileged bunch of French siblings yell at each other when you could just as easily have a screaming match with your own family and friends?
