Description

Max Skinner (Russell Crowe) is a highly successful investment expert with no time for life outside work. When his estranged uncle dies, Max inherits the vineyard in France where he grew up as a child, and his first intention is to sell the vineyard as qui

A feel-good movie that highlights the beauty of France as much as it does its stars, A Good Year provides a languid, gorgeous viewing experience. Director Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe--who first worked together on the Academy Award-winning Gladiator--are reunited in this romantic film, which is based on Peter Mayle's book A Year in Provence. Crowe plays Max, a workaholic London bonds trader who doesn't know the meaning of vacation. When his uncle dies, leaving him a picturesque estate in the south of France, Max views it as an opportunity to cash in the vinery and pocket the profits. The film is reminiscent of Diane Lane's Under the Tuscan Sun in the way the scenery plays as much of a role in the film as its characters. The lush village and streaming sunlight portray Provence as an idyllic, magical place. Even Max falls under its spell. While not a particularly likeable character, especially in the early part of the film, Max also isn't a bad guy. When he gets the chance to live life at a less manic pace than which he is used to, he finds that a good year isn't dependant on a financial windfall. Though Scott tries to drum up some suspense in the film (Is the beautiful visitor really Max's illegitimate cousin? Will Max fall in love with the feisty local woman he trades quips with?) nothing that happens comes as much of a surprise. Still, while the film doesn't fully utilize Crowe's range of skills, the actor is charming in his role and A Good Year provides a fine time in the cinemas. --Jae-Ha Kim

Super romantic flic

What a wonderful romantic movie. A side of Russell Crowe that you would not expect but he does such a great job. Hunted everywhere for this movie after seeing it on TV and finally found it on Amazon. Definitely a movie to watch over and over.

A Good Year

A very fine portrayal of a man who has driven himself off track, then rediscovers himself and the important things in life through surprising twists and turns.

Great movie!

We loved this movie and will, no doubt, watch it more then once as it is just a feel good movie.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the wine.

I love this movie! You want to get away without leaving your house, pop this movie in with nice glass of wine. Other than Gladiator, I truly believe that this is Russel Crowes finest movies. You always feel good after watching this movie.
