You Will Be My Son (SD)

Product Description

(Foreign language film with English subtitles) Directed by Gilles Legr&, You Will Be My Son stars Niels Arestrup as Paul de Marseul, a prestigious wine-maker & owner of a renowned chateau & vineyard in Saint-Émilion, who is disheartened by the notion of his son Martin taking over the family business. Martin does not seem to have inherited the qualities that Paul esteems in a wine-maker: persistence, creative insight & technical prowess matched with passion for the job & the product, & Paul frequently reminds him of this, whether explicitly or in subtle gestures. When Philippe appears at the vineyard, Paul leaps at the chance to name him as his successor, neglecting the wishes of his own son. The tension in this familial triangle comes to a head when an unexpected event changes everything. Like a fine wine, this drama is full-bodied & complex & provides a fascinating look at the matter of the transmission of knowledge, heritage & tradition in the world of wine.
