Back to Burgundy (2017)

Refreshingly different French drama directed by Cédric Klapisch. 

Three siblings (Pio Marmaï, Ana Girardot and François Civil) inherit a French vineyard after their father dies. They have to decide whether to sell the land or continue to work on it, making a go of the business despite their other commitments. 

It’s a fairly straightforward story, focusing on the characters and their feelings. I found it highly engrossing as the characters had real depth. And unlike other “idyllic vineyard” films such as A Good Year, it doesn’t sentimentalise a region or a way of life.
