“Burgundy” Doc: Sweet Start, But Does This Wine Film Have Legs?

• The new documentary “Burgundy” from Dweck & Kershaw.
• Its unique, dreamy opening title card.
• Why the review calls it “light-bodied” but “no legs.”
• Our thoughts on this interesting wine doc!

You won’t believe what we just watched a review about! It’s for a new documentary called “Burgundy.”

The opening title card sets quite a mood. “Everything that follows is true. Exactly as we dreamed it,” it reads. Almost a wink. Cute. Sweet!

Very dreamy. But the review says it feels a little… defensive. Like the directors, Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw, knew something. Hmm.

They’re an award-winning duo, you know. The movie starts sweet. So charming! But perhaps that vibe hides something?

It’s called a “light-bodied wine doc.” Sounds nice, right? Visually, we can almost picture the rolling vineyards, the warm light, the rich, deep colors of the wine itself. The aesthetic must be beautiful.

But here’s the kicker: the review also says it has a “good nose.” Good smell. But “no legs.” That’s a wine term. It means it doesn’t linger. It doesn’t have substance, maybe.

It sounds like a film that draws you in with its lovely look and feel. But then… poof?

Our Take

We love a film that starts with a little mystery. And a promise! “Exactly as we dreamed it” is such an artistic touch.

It makes you lean in. But the idea of a “sweet start” turning a bit “defensive”? That’s intriguing.

And a wine doc with a “good nose” but “no legs”? It sounds like it might be beautiful to look at, easy to enjoy for a moment. Like a pleasant sip.

But maybe not a film that stays with you. We’re definitely curious to see if this “light-bodied” film has more depth than the review suggests. Or if it’s just pretty on the surface.
