In a distinct break from their muscular triumph Gladiator, Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott teamed up again to bring Peter Mayle's sunny Provencal romance to the screen, a change of milieu that's spawned an equally warm, often sentimentally tinged soundtrack and score. Using a trio of pop songs by the great Harry Nilsson (including the joyous demo of Nilsson Schmilsson's "Gotta Get Up") as an axis that's as effusive as it is unlikely, this is a collection that romps through Franco-pop nuggets variously contemporary (Makali's elegant "Il Faut du Temps..."), vintage (Charles Trenet's "Je Chante," Jean Sablon's "J'Attendrai," Tino Rossi's "Le Chant du Guardian"), and downright loopy (Richard Anthony's French redux of "Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini"), making room for Patti Page, Josephine Baker, and Delaney & Bonnie along its merry way. Also included are three cues from newcomer Marc Streitenfeld's underscore, a nimble exercise in instrumental post-modernism whose electronica/folk/neoclassical melange is as eclectic as the song choices, yet characterized by subtlety and grace. --Jerry McCulley

I purchased the soundtrack immediately after seeing the film. I am thoroughly enjoying this delightful variety of songs AND I do not even speak French!

We had seen the movie, A Good Year, and fell in love with it and the scenery but especially the soundtrack. Thus, I checked on Amazon and located the CD of the same for my sister as a Christmas gift. We have played the music so much already and enjoy it tremendously.
A Good Year for a Soundtrack January 9, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This really was a delightful, upbeat, lighthearted movie wrapped in a beautiful package of "Provence" wrapping paper and the music accompany this film matches that upbeat gift with a soundtrack that is quirky and fun. Memories will come washing back over you from amazingly creative places! Covering classic crooning oldies from the U.S., a little bit of Country twang, classic Nilson Rock and Roll from England and wistfully playful French diddies, it's a feast for your ears and a banquet for retro memories! I find myself smiling every time I listen to it. A creatively odd and very pleasant blend of upbeat fun.
