Juan Miguel Azpiroz‘s crisp, colorful, unnerving cinematography serves as a shield from any sort of truth, glazing everything–from the jazzy, continental Stork Club-and-snifters New York segments to the sun-dappled stony paths of Catalonia–in time-marking artificiality, leaving little details (Moore’s unforgettable red-velvet-icing dress against a frosty airport backdrop, a web of spit glistening between two pairs of lips in a dark bedroom) to speak for the whole. During and after her crumbling, embattled marriage to Bakelite fortune-heir Brooks Baekeland ( Stephen Dillane), Barbara and Tony display growing erratic, antisocial behavior, exhibiting inappropriately, almost sociopathically seductive tendencies and taking their aggressions out on themselves and each other, often while engaged in complicated sexual partnerships.ĭecades of the Baekelands’ destructive behavior are imagined through a fogged lens, raising far more questions than answers: Is any of Barbara’s behavior an irrational reaction to Tony’s evident homosexuality? Was Barbara and Tony’s Oedipal bond forged at an early age, in desperate response to latent chemical imbalances? Is Barbara’s gold-digging just another red herring? Does schizophrenia explain away the story’s tragic outcome? Kalin keeps his camera close but never lets us get past the facades: it’s a tactic that will disappoint, even outrage, some viewers, especially as the narrative rounds the final bend. Based on true events of unabashed, high-society perversity, “Savage Grace” details, with increasingly alarming detachment, the downward spiral of the particularly unhealthy (to put it mildly) relationship between Manhattan socialite Barbara Daly Baekeland ( Julianne Moore) and her only son, Tony ( Eddie Redmayne). “ Savage Grace,” his confrontational return to feature-film directing after an absence of more than fifteen years, may also cause viewers to question its maker’s motivations.ĭistanced, opaque, and criminally lurid, Kalin’s new film dares you to look beneath its prurient exterior: instead of a beating heart, you’ll find a rotting hole. A wine that is delicate, balanced, approachable yet expressive.Kalin refused to answer, but he dangled these ideas before his viewers like yarn in front of a kitten Kalin’s returned now with a possibly even more sensationalistic tale, similarly burdened by psychosexual “abnormality” and drawn in broad period strokes. “ GRACE” – also Michael's wife’s name, is symbolizing what he hopes to achieve as the end result. “ SAVAGE” – echoes the struggle of the grape to withstand the stress of ripening, along with making wine that is true to the grape, site, and vintage. Overlooking the Columbia Gorge The Columbia River plays an integral role in the weather and temperature surrounding and in the vineyard.

He is continuing to deepen his core understanding of all stages in the vinification process, to put his philosophy of low-intervention winemaking into practice, where the grape, vineyard, and vintage form a unique balance.
