Arcadia - Shockingly nuanced look at the world of natural wine in all of its “back to the earth” poetry and all of its “back to the earth” bullshit. Textured doc so it doesn’t land on either side, but it’s refreshing to see a wine doc call out the colonialist, segregated history
I myself love natural wine, but I also think it’s status as some rootsy rejection of capitalism is bullshit as they’re often incredibly expensive and exclude minorities, poor people and queer folx. Doc smartly doesn’t avoid this thread while embracing the free spirit of the wine
as some sort of cosmic philosophy to live by. Fascinating film.
