French drama ‘Back to Burgundy’ is rich, full-bodied look at winemaking family

Wine helps the emotions flow, but so, apparently, does winemaking in Cédric Klapisch’s absorbing family drama, “Back to Burgundy,” a film so rich and pleasurable you’d be forgiven if you thought about it each time you have a glass of red.

Set in the picturesque winemaking region of France with a lot of time spent among the vines, the film recounts the uneasy reunification of three siblings after their father’s death and their efforts to keep the winery going under the threat of a hefty inheritance tax that might force them to sell.

Jean (Pio Marmaï), who hated his father, has been away for 10 years, starting a family and a winery of his own in Australia.
