Rudy Kurniawan, an unassuming Indonesian immigrant, stuns the exclusive world of fine wine with a seemingly endless supply of rare Burgundies and Bordeaux, selling them for millions to America's top collectors and restaurateurs. His lavish tastings and impeccable palate earn him trust, until whispers about the provenance of his bottles grow into a full-blown scandal. An investigation unravels an audacious fraud that exposed the fragile pretensions of an entire industry on the eve of the 2008 financial crash.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film is a brilliantly constructed caper that functions equally as a suspenseful procedural and a sharp critique of vanity and credentialism in high society. It exposes the complicity of the elite in their own deception.

What lingers after the credits is a delicious irony: the very obsession with status and rarity that built this world made it so easy to fool. — MovieFinder Editorial

Best Watched

The clink of crystal in opulent tasting rooms, the tense silence of forensic analysis, the hushed reverence of auction houses.
