So I finally got to watch the Widow Clicquot movie... I'm usually not a fan of biopics because they never fail to retell true stories in a falsely way for the sake of adding unnecessary dramas to life stories that are already fascinating on their own (and on this point Widow Clicquot isn't an exception), but I kinda liked this one, mostly thanks to the very good acting of Haley and Tom.

And man, Tom's more beautiful than ever in this movie.... and he's so sweet! 😍

(PS: I can totally imagine Morpheus with this look.... Not to mention that he and Francois are both passionate, unhinged romantic fools!)

Tom Sturridge as François Clicquot in “Widow Clicquot.”

“Compared with Barbe-Nicole, however, it seems François was sensitive and moody, and she must also have noticed immediately the way in which his mother and father coddled him. She soon understood why. He could be cheerful and energized one moment and apparently turn melancholy and despairing the next. This was a side of her husband she would not have expected. Despite the close connections between their families, she had not seen much of him for several years.”

———————

“François's letters home from 1792 to 1794 are filled with patriotic zeal. He had a romantic view of war and was naturally an idealist. He was also apparently prone to illness and more worryingly to depression. Philippe wrote urgent letters to his son in Switzerland, reminding François of his "weak temperament" and history of hernias. In other letters, he begged his son to fight melancholy and eat well. There was a darker side to François's ebullient personality that his parents knew only too well.”

———————

“But even if she did not realize it yet, she and François were essentially mismatched in at least one fundamental way. She had inherited all her father's and Philippe's ruthless pragmatism and keen business instincts. Barbe-Nicole, however, had married a dreamer. And he had his heart set on the wine business.”
