The legal thriller “Anatomy of a Fall” by Frenchwoman Justine Triet is the big winner of the 2023 European Film Awards awarded in Berlin. A list that celebrates the freedom of creation and expression dear to Europe.

After Reykjavik last year, Berlin hosted, like every other year, the European Film Awards, prices created by the European Film Academy in the German capital in 1988, just before the fall of the wall, to highlight European cinema and its diversity.

Pour 2023, the competition was very strong, but it was “Anatomie of a Fall” by the Frenchwoman Justine Triet who won everything, with the Prizes for best screenplay, best direction and best film and the one for best actress for Sandra Hüller.

The story of a writer who finds herself suspected of the death of her husband and whose trial will expose her relationship and her identity as a woman.

“I think there is a freedom in Europe that must be preserved and protected and which is magnificent,” underlined Justine Triet, speaking to Euronews. “A freedom of expression, a freedom to really say what you think, which, in fact, is quite rare,” she indicated. “When you travel the world a lot, you realize that it’s very precious,” she insisted.

The “extraordinary work” des European Film Awards

Sandra Hüller also stars in “The Zone of Interest” (“La Zone d’intérêt”)a chilling film regarding the family life of the commander-in-chief of Auschwitz and which shows humanity in all its horror, without showing anything from the camp.

The film received nothing despite its excellence. Sandra Hüller prefers to emphasize the work of the European Film Academy which organizes these Awards.

“It’s extraordinary work, discreet but so important,” remarked the actress during the Berlin ceremony. “I think of all those who work in the shadows, magnificently, to bring us all together here, to make us meet and discuss interesting subjects,” she explained.

A reality “policy”

European subjects who take the pulse of the state of the world and of Europe.

So, “Green Border”, by Polish director Agnieszka Holland, shows, in a very realistic manner, the fate of migrants stuck between Belarus and Poland. A film which drew the wrath of conservatives and the Polish far-right. Here too, the film was nominated several times without winning anything…

“There are films that courageously tackle diverse subjects, and not just directly political ones,” declared the Polish director. “But at the same time, we live in a reality that is political regardless of the subject discussed,” she insisted.

“A subjective journey”

No prizes either for “Io Capitano”, “Me, Captain” by Matteo Garrone. The director of “Gomorr”a and “Dogman” delivers here a movie which puts us in the shoes of two young Africans who left everything and sacrificed to build a better future…

Here too, a committed film, but above all one which gives a large part to the human aspect.

“Cinema also tries to tell a story, to give the audience an experience,” stated Matteo Garrone, “to create in him an empathy with the characters and to give him the possibility of experiencing a subjective journey.”

Love according to Ari Kaurismäki

Finally, nominated but also empty-handed, “Fallen Leaves”a love film of infinite poetry.

And feature film directed by one of the major European authors, the Finnish Aki Kaurismäki.

Revolutionizing Bordeaux Wines: Innovative Pairings and Market Challenges

by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

While Bordeaux wines are going through a period of declining popularity, their representatives are seeking to attract a younger and female audience by breaking with the image traditionally associated with red meats. Today, we discover with astonishment the possible pairings between these wines and dishes such as sushi, hamburgers, sweet desserts and even vegetarian dishes. The challenge is great for the Bordeaux Wine Interprofessional Council (CIVB), which must face both sluggish demand and excess supply.

An original and daring campaign

With this in mind, the CIVB has launched a innovative campaign with limited resources, aiming to reverse the trend and attract new consumers, particularly young people and women. Bordeaux wines thus present themselves in a new light, with surprising pairing suggestions such as:

  • great reds with sushi or vegetarian dishes,
  • sweet white wines to accompany chocolate desserts,
  • rosés with burgers or spicy ethnic dishes.

These ideas, unthinkable a few years ago, are now accepted and adopted by players in the sector.

A response to market challenges

This campaign is part of a context of economic crisis and imbalance between supply and demandparticularly due to the various climatic, health and geopolitical hazards that winegrowers must face.

One of the main levers of action envisaged is a lifting plan of 9,500 hectares of vines, financed by a budget of 57 million euros from the State and inter-professional organizations. This system aims to reduce annual production by around 500,000 hectoliters and allow wine growers to maintain their activity despite financial difficulties.

Support from the State and institutional partners

Although this plan represents a significant financial burden, the CIVB benefits from the support of the government and institutional partners such as the Caisse des Dépôts. The Minister of Agriculture, Marc Fesneau, recalled his commitment to the wine sector: “ We have an obligation to achieve results because this plan is achievable and realistic […] The State will provide an additional eight million euros if the budget allocated for renaturation is used in its entirety!« .

Future prospects for Bordeaux wines

It remains to be seen whether this strategy of desecration and innovation in terms of food and wine pairings will allow Bordeaux wines to return to success. Despite budgetary restrictions, the CIVB continues to work on ambitious projects, in particular the creation of a public wine land establishment whose mission would be:

  • to take over assets,
  • to restructure them with an agri-food perspective,
  • and resell or rent them in order to implement a consolidation process.

This initiative would also be accompanied by prior assessments in terms of soil science, agronomy and hydrology, with a view to preserving and promoting the Bordeaux region.

The hope of a recovery

For now, the call for the grubbing plan is still open until December 20, and nearly 900 applications representing approximately 6,000 hectares have already been submitted. The future outlook is therefore uncertain but hopeful, with a sector that knows how to reinvent itself and offer daring agreements to win back the hearts of consumers.

While waiting to see if these initiatives will bear fruit, do not hesitate to test these unique pairings between Bordeaux wines and your favorite dishesto perhaps rediscover these exceptional products in a new light.
