Pre-90s European movie

Movie made before 1989. Aristocratic father and son, father described as nihilistic - at one point a woman asks the son “are you as nihilistic as your father?”. Son says he admires his father because no one will twist him round their little finger. Scene with son as boy playing in sand on beach, father rides up to him on a horse and gives him a speech on the role of the artistocracy. If anyone knows this movie, I would be so grateful.
