Editorial Reviews: Description THE LANGUAGE OF WINE offers an intimate and provocative glimpse into the daily world of winemaking in the great French winemaking region of Burgundy. The film presents interviews with some of the world's leading winemakers as well as with small-scale vintners who work family plots in their evenings while holding day jobs. THE LANGUAGE OF WINE provides a behind-the-scenes view into the workings of wineries such as Domaine Dujac, Domaine de la Romanee Conti, Maison Joseph Faiveley, and Maison Latour among others. And, it offers a view of how modern life is shaped both by contemporary pressures and a long and complex history.

Customer Reviews: Highly recommend February 29, 2008 I was very impressed at the filmic quality of this documentary and the sensitive human portraits of the region. Not a big wine connoisseur myself, I feel much more educated about the process from an emotional as well as intellectual level. I highly recommend it. I loved this film! February 29, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful What an original and beautiful film! It has a wignette style that is very different from a run-of-the-mill program on wine. It is much more about things that take place in wineries and about the winemakers in Burgundy in relation to their lives, than about the product. I loved it! The Language of Wine January 7, 2008 0 out of 3 found this review helpful Poorly made documentary which does not give much insights into the wines of burgundy. It basically does interviews of several Burgundy legends including Aubert de Villaine of DRC, Henri Jayer and Jacques Seysses. Nothing educational about it at all. Dispointing! Just like a poorly made bottle of Grand Cru. Would not recommend this even to your worst enemy! Excellent film about winemaking in Burgundy ... and a great deal more December 16, 2005 9 out of 9 found this review helpful Delighted to see that this fascinating and unusual film is now available. I originally saw it at a screening in Chicago and, as a wine lover, was expecting a pleasant tour through a beloved region. On one level the film delivers that, but so much more is going on here. It's remarkable how deeply this director understands viniculture -- even connoisseurs stand to learn from Coover's film. Beyond the technology and economics of production and the finesse of enjoyment, there is wine-making as a way of life, rooted in local traditions and family histories, constantly challenged in a rapidly changing world. What's particularly intriguing about the film is that it tells the story of winemaking in Burgundy with great attention to the unique details of the region, but in a way that provokes us to see how this story relates to many others about gradual transformations in traditions and social practices. The film doesn't engage in polemics, nor does it offer simple answers. No doubt some will find fault with this. And there are legitimate complaints to be made about some rough transitions, interviews that could have been more extensive, and a few loose threads here and there. But these are small complaints. This is a well-made film, beautifully shot and edited with skill and clear purpose. In abstaining from moralizing, Coover allows the audience to see what is really there, lingering on the rich texture of Burgundy life, and then challenges us to think seriously about how such a way of life comes to be, is understood, and changes over time. I highly recommend it.
