The Connoisseurs

Available for over a year

With the release of a new film inspired by the art of wine tasting and the true story of a Zimbabwean team of professional sommeliers, 'Blind Ambition', Matthew considers film and film music under the wider context of the connoisseur. Who are the great on-screen arbiters of merit and taste? And he talks to the Australian composer Helena Czajka, about her score for 'Blind Ambition'. The programme includes music from Sideways, Bottle Shock, The Monuments Men, The Thomas Crown Affair, The Best Offer, The Leopard, Goldfinger, Phantom Thread, La La Land, Like Water For Chocolate, and Blind Ambition.
