A Good Year





Here you can find Russell Crowe in his least demanding role ever. His character is a banker in The City, but he spent many a summer in his uncle's Provence château and vineyard, as a nipper. When his uncle dies, our lead inherits them and heads off to oversee their sale.

I would normally avoid risking spoiling the plot, but here there really isn't much of one. Let's just say that if you can't guess what happens from what I have already mentioned, then you've probably never seen a film and you will love the experience. For everyone else, you just need to know that while there's not really anything wrong with A Good Year, there's nothing particularly profound about it either. In fact, I think it's fair to say its best aspect is the beautiful location, which would be much more enjoyable to visit than to watch.

A Good Year. A pleasant, yet forgettable film.

Wow, I have a reader. :)

Seriously, I've built up a bit of a backlog, so I'm going to try and catch up a bit and anything that didn't cut it is going to get short shrift.
