You Will Be My Son DVD   Drakes Avenue Pictures

Directed by Gilles Legrand, You Will Be My Son stars Niels Arestrup (The Beat That My Heart Skipped, War Horse, A Prophet) as Paul de Marseul, a prestigious but ageing wine-maker whose son Martin (Lorant Deutsch) lacks the talent or indeed the will to succeed him. When Philippe (Nicolas Bridet) 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. Beautifully filmed in the vineyards of southern France, You Will Be My Son is a vintage and full-bodied drama with a lingering after-taste.
