A good little bit of cinema April 4, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I read this book years ago and it has stuck with me, so I was excited to see the preview for this film. I had to wait until it came out on video because my town's theatres cater to the teenage mainstream (slasher gore, remakes of slasher gore, CGI, hollywood (deliberately NOT capitalized!)formula films, etc.)
To be honest, the first time through the film did not dazzle but, as with most of Ridley Scott's stuff, you simply have to watch it more than once to really SEE it and get to know the character's stories. In this case love stories - Max's love of money and power; DuFlout's love of the land; a town's love of their way of life; a nephew's love for his uncle; a young woman's love for a man she never met; a man's love for a woman and a place.
The scenery is spectacular, the supporting cast is by turn funny, sincere and slimy, and I think Russell Crowe's charater may start off a bit of a phony and that's how he's playing him.
My husband, who is normally, "If this has 'feelings' I'm not watching" really liked the story. Yes, it's a bit predictable, and sometimes that's just what I want. In a world that's so short attention span, Wow I've never seen that before, Gee, that looks almost real- it's nice to find a sweet little love story that shows a place and people we wish we really knew and works out the way we all wish life could.
(I got the soundtrack too.)

Excellent music, a mix of new themes and old songs (from 1930s and 1940s). I play it all the time (even at work), at this rate it's going to wear out soon. As it's not available in Australia yet, my friends are a bit jealous. Overall, it's one of the best soundtracks I've bought.
Wonderful April 7, 2007

The music on this cd is so different than what I usually listen to. When I heard the Wedding Samba on the movie, I knew I had to have the cd. The cd is just what I thought it would be, a great collection of music that takes me back to the French countryside and downtown London. Great cd.
 A Good Year Soundtrack missing lots of favorites March 18, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Ordered the soundtrack and immediately sent it back because many of the really good songs from the movie were omitted. I'll just have to watch the DVD a lot to enjoy that music, especially when Russell Crowe and Marilyn Cotillard are sitting at the outside cafe watching the movie and listening to the song being sung. I believe the song is called Boum...not on the soundtrack. I would rather have had that than Patti Paige.
a delightful comedy August 26, 2007

This is a comedy, well directed by Ridley Scott, and well acted by Russell Crowe and Marion Cotillard, which brings a quiet pleasure to the viewer. The whole cast is truly superb and the ambience of the French Provence is beautiful. LIke a fine glass of wine.
