Tu Seras Mon Fils (Gilles Legrand, 2011)

You Will Be My Son gives us the stone-faced Niels Arestrup, who you may remember from A Prophet as a crime boss in prison, in a rather frighteningly similar role as the owner of a prestigious vineyard who bullies a son he doesn't see as a worthy successor to the estate into submission. He is a monster who is a terrible advertisement for the whole concept of wine snobbery: someone who uses wine to validate his entire existence and behaviour. Admittedly this point is made somewhat heavy-handedly as eventually no conversation is left without the use of wine as a metaphor for every aspect of life, and the film starts to go around in circles at this point, but Arestrup's performance is compelling nevertheless.
