RogerEbert.com — You Will Be My Son
French director and co-writer Gilles Legrand shows great mastery of tone and pacing in his third feature, which begins life as a domestic drama set at a family-owned vineyard and slowly morphs into a tense thriller. The great Niels Arestrup is a towering force as the world-renowned, egomaniacal winemaker who humiliates his only son at every turn, then chooses another young man as his heir apparent. It’s the stuff of Greek tragedy, as I write in my RogerEbert.com review.
A must see at iPic in Pasadena where they sell alcohol at the concession stand. I’ve been looking for an excuse to go there.
Vineyards. Wine. Family drama. I’m there!
Jozie, I’ve never been there either, you’ll have to let me know how it is. I also keep meaning to go to the one in Marina del Rey with the reclining seats and the drinks.
Will do!
