The Venice Film Festival<\/a>, known primarily for its Euro-heavy narrative competition slate, is fast becoming a coveted launching point for the year\u2019s best nonfiction filmmaking. This year alone sees the world premieres of the second part of Julia Loktev\u2019s massive, award-winning \u201cMy Undesirable Friends,\u201d Luca Guadagnino\u2019s seven-hour Bertolucci documentary \u201cJoie de Vivre,\u201d and Alex Gibney\u2019s four-hour \u201cMusk\u201d portrait. One buzzed-about documentary premiering out of Venice<\/a>, however, is just 90 minutes. <\/p>\n

That would be \u201cThe Truffle Hunters<\/a>\u201d directors Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw\u2019s new documentary \u201cBurgundy<\/a>,\u201d which follows the lives (and loves) of a family of winemakers in France\u2019s legendary wine country. Observational, rather than constructed with talking head interviews, \u201cBurgundy\u201d spans a coming-of-age romance, a mogul\u2019s contemplations on the next steps in his legacy, and even a critic\u2019s reflections on his own tastes into one delightful feature. IndieWire debuts an exclusive clip below ahead of its Venice festival premiere.<\/p>\n

\"Status<\/a> \"BUDDY,<\/a> <\/p>\n

Dweck and Kershaw earned great acclaim (and a place on the 2021 Best Documentary Feature Oscar shortlist) for their Guadagnino-executive-produced \u201cTruffle Hunters<\/a>,\u201d set in Northern Italy. Here\u2019s their director\u2019s statement about \u201cBurgundy\u201d: We started \u2018Burgundy\u2019 the way we start all our films: looking for people still tethered to their dirt. Places where the past isn\u2019t history, but the rituals of daily life. Then we stayed. Long enough to understand that pleasure in Bourgogne is not a hobby but a discipline, practiced daily, with the gravity other people reserve for religion. <\/p>\n

\u201cStay that long and you stop observing. We began dreaming stories onto the lives we were following, until the film<\/a> became what it is: a portrait of a magical community, rendered through drunken eyes. We want you to luxuriate. To delight in the pleasures of this land and lose the afternoon. And then, somewhere around the third glass, to notice that a life built on pleasure is not a simple life, that these people are as tangled as the rest of us, only afloat on something exquisite.\u201d<\/p>\n

And finally, more on the film from Venice\u2019s synopsis: \u201cIn \u2018Burgundy,\u2019 the world\u2019s most celebrated wines are only part of the story. Behind every bottle lies a world shaped by ritual and inheritance, and by those striving to preserve or transform it. Through the eyes of a new generation searching for its place, Burgundy opens the doors to a world rarely seen from within, and then imagines its way further inside. An aspiring sommeli\u00e8re earning her craft under one of the greats meets a young vineyard worker who longs to become part of a world he has only admired from afar. Around them, an aristocratic winemaker defines his legacy, a legendary ma\u00eetre d\u2019h\u00f4tel seeks his heir, and a reverent wine critic pursues the sublime. Devotion, desire and heritage intertwine in a portrait where the observed and the invented become inseparable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBurgundy\u201d premieres at the Venice Film Festival on Thursday, September 3. Charades is handling world sales.
