“You Will Be My Son” could very well be the “Moby Dick” of stories about realistically awful fathers. The beauty of a gorgeous vineyard in France is obscured by the monstrous countenance of Paul de Marseul (Niels Arstrup), a bitter old man caring for his massive wine industry with a pompous sense of ownership that shrinks all those around him. The man who bears the brunt of this condescension, however, is his own son: Indeed, Paul considers himself raised off the land, but dedicated son Martin (Lorant Deutsch) is college educated. Paul, a beefy, overweight older man with a brusque manner, barrels into rooms with his top buttons undone, his beard unkempt and usually with a bottle of wine in his chubby fingers. Martin, by contrast, is a lanky, weak-chinned intellectual with a finely-ironed wardrobe and a knowledge of wine that comes not from taste or touch, but from books.

Looks like a reunion of talent from Jacques Audiard's excellent 2009 film "A Prophet" is in the works with Joachim Lafosse's next directorial effort, the family drama "Aimer à perdre la raison" -- which roughly translates to "Loving Without Reason."
