Burgundy
Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw are modern-day masters of creative nonfiction with their melancholic portrayals of one-of-a-kind traditions and the communities who proudly carry them. After focusing on truffle-sniffing canines and humans (The Truffle Hunters, MVFF43), and Argentine cowboys and cowgirls (Gaucho Gaucho, 2024), the duo turns their dreamy lens to the irresistible flavors of the Burgundy region and its colorful personalities of different socioeconomic realities. From a dapper vineyard worker with an Alain Delon flair, to a service old hand so committed to the delicious ingredients of his menu that you might just applaud his disarming theatrics, individuals that construct Burgundy’s many layers all aim to make a lasting impression like that last great bottle of wine you’ve slurped and can’t forget. A romantic cinematic journey that often winks at the pleasures and techniques of the French New Wave, Burgundy is here to caress your palate with its silky aromas and sophisticated aftertaste. —Tomris Laffly
