Nothing to object to, it would be more than that, for you to serenely enjoy this romantic-sentimental-dramatic and vinous comedy based on a play written by Calbérac himself who, as if nothing had happened and without entrusting himself to Bacchus or Dionisios, gives the jump to the cinematographic direction.

‘Wine tasting’

Direction and script: Ivan Calbérac.

Performers: Isabelle Carré, Bernard Campan, Mounir Amamra, Éric Viellard.

Duration: 92m.

Photography: Philippe Guilbert.

Music: Laurent Akinin.

Nothing to resent for the fact that you leave this discreet comedy wanting to have a glass of good wine. It is a somewhat saddened piece whose leading actress has represented it some 300 times on stage, while the actor who plays the lonely wine seller also played a sommelier, winemaker, almost an oenologist in a 2011 film entitled ‘Remember things beautiful’.

No, no, everything is fine. It will not change their lives and most of us will never be able to afford the luxurious pleasure of opening a bottle of Château Margaux, but perhaps that of uncorking a 2018 Château Malartic-Lagravière (55 euros bottle) or getting to know some of the proposals of the biodynamic ‘vigneron’ Gérard Bertrand, for example his very Mediterranean Art de Vivre Clairette du Languedoc Adissan from 2019.

No, no, go ahead. Enjoy that movie that also talks about redemption and forgiveness. Enjoy it and, whether you come out of it a little gloomy or a little lighthearted, pour yourself a glass of good wine even though the film seemed like just another one of those sentimental French wine comedies with no alcoholic and cinematic proof at all Stunning, with little aftertaste, moderate passage through the eyes and mouth and tight tones, neither too intense nor too faded.

Enjoy it. With the restraint and emotion contained and ephemeral with which they will listen to ‘Petite Fleur’, Sidney Bechet’s jazz standard.
