Period Drama Biopic about the "Grande Dame of Champagne"

After her husband’s untimely death, Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin Clicquot flouts convention by assuming the reins of the fledgling wine business they had nurtured together. Steering the company through dizzying political and financial reversals, she defies her critics and revolutionizes the champagne industry to become one of the world’s first great businesswomen.

There was enough story here for an epic, but Napper chose to make a poem-like movie, one that sustains a tone of mystery and wonder from start to finish.

San Francisco Chronicle

It runs just 90 minutes and accomplishes so much, a mix of tragic (and sexy) romance with a feminist story of a pioneering legend.
