Uncorked director The_A_Prentice and star Mamoudou Athie talk wine, barbecue and family expectations
Though Nash’s character isn’t based directly on Penny’s mother, he says they have one important trait in common. “The one commonality they have is my mom’s constant love and support for me wanting to become a writer,” Penny says, explaining that when he came up there weren’t many filmmakers of color he could look up to beyond Spike Lee.
Penny was “a “hundred percent’ involved in choosing the film’s soundtrack — Memphis trap music that switches to French hip hop when Elijah travels to Paris. Other movies that feature wine lean “into the sweet” with the music, he says, but like wine and barbecue, “Uncorked,” plays on the salty vs. the sweet. “I wanted to cut across the beautiful imagery of the wine with something that was contrary to that.
“We have these other stories. These should be celebrated as well,” says Athie, who was born in Mauritania in Northern Africa but raised in the U.S. The tasting examination scenes are particularly realistic. “It’s truly insane. It’s a ton of memorization,” says Athie, “This is comparable to being a doctor, it’s so intense. It was baffling to me. But they use this grid, so it’s like a process of elimination, which made it so much simpler to see how it could be broken down.”
