Why watch this film?
Widow Clicquot is a perfect film for those who love to learn more about the stories behind the world of gastronomy—especially its behind-the-scenes. Here, we delve into the life of Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin, a 27-year-old widow who defies legal conventions and takes over the wine business she ran with her husband. With no support, she challenges the critics of her time and revolutionizes the champagne industry, turning it into the powerhouse we know today. Directed with delicacy by Thomas Napper (Jawbone), the film stands out not only for its beautiful landscapes but also for Haley Bennett's (Swallow) remarkable performance.
