importune

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'press' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'regularly film one in provence drinking wine' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'film' could be 'm' (1931 Fritz Lang film) and 'm' is found in the answer.
'one' could be 'un' (northern English dialect form of 'one') and 'un' is found in the answer.
'wine' could be 'port' (port is a kind of wine) and 'port' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
