    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Bernard says his wine is like "looking into the eye of a duck". David Lynch calls the best shots in his films "Eye of the Duck" moments in interviews, since the eye of a duck is perfectly placed and would look wrong if even slightly differently placed. Wittgenstein would use a drawing of a duck's head to make a point about ambiguity, since a duck's head and bill resembles a rabbit's head and ears.
    • Quotes

      Bernard: [gibbering] They'd all laugh at me if they knew what I was trying to do... to create a new strain of super-wine in a half an hour with a fraction of nature's resources and a FOOL for an assistant. "Bernard Black, he's mad," they'd say. "He's insane. He's dangerous." Well I'll show them! I'll show them all!
