WIDOW Clicquot
Widow Clicquot
Director: Thomas C. Knapper
Stars: Haley Bennett, Tom Sturridge, Sam Riley, Ben Miles
It's all about the magic bubbles of happiness…
There although it must be said that there are too many coincidences in this story.
Unless Francois Clicquot received as a wedding gift vast fields of vines.
Unless, after seven happy years of marriage, the delightful Barb Nicole would become Clicquot's widow, depressed by the inheritance of vines and her husband's unrealized passion project for bubbly glory from In the form of champagne. Unless the enterprising Mrs. Clicquot resisted the sale of these neglected vines to the powerful Moët clan and, in honor of her beloved husband, dared to fulfill his fantasies... Unless, unless, unless... and this was at a time when women only had two socially acceptable periods escorts - give birth and judge your inexplicable malaise on couches meant for fainting. Widows, on the other hand, mourn until death, cross-stitch pillows and receive guests. What is a woman to do in a world ruled by men?
That's right, you have to play by their rules, turning a blind eye to prejudice and piety here and there, brazenly circumventing the law and not cracking down on smuggling. Yes, in a dangerous time, Clicaux's widow has dared to build a sparkling wine empire: Napoleon's trade embargo, European sanctions, bad weather, scandals with finances, but there are no obstacles that a purposeful woman, overwhelmed by the passion for winemaking, cannot overcome. Endless fields of vines stretch to the property's very horizon. The sun burns them mercilessly, filling the heavy bunches with an amber glow. In the mornings, Barba Nicole goes to look at the vines - to get good wine, the crop must be harvested at dawn, when the berries are wet and heavy from the morning dew. That's what her husband taught her. And what's more, it was he who taught her to sing to bunches of grapes! Because winemaking is both an art and a philosophy, and it's also a coupage, a remouage, a degorgeage, and even a braze - for all of this we have to thank Barb Nicolas, born Ponsardin, Clicquot's widow.
This film is just like a luxurious vintage champagne refined tasting - it amazes with its saturated bouquet, in which sexual energy is vividly felt. The taste buds feel the notes of ripe fruit, the aroma unfolds slowly: the juicy green of the vines, the calm blue sky with a slightly sweet, slightly sad aftertaste at the end. Clear, intoxicating from wood to wood.
