A Good Year by Ridley Scott

Category: English

I was supposed to do a review of "Bad Education" to bring the Pedro Almodovar week to a close but the disk was completely toasted so I am sorry. I did however watch another film today - one I had got from my brother sometime back.

A Good Year, isn't one of the best films you will see, it's not even endearing. The film follows Max who is a trader and is particularly ruthless in his field. After his uncle dies he leaves him a vineyard in France which Max at first wants to quickly get rid off.

Later of course like all convoluted plots he must discover the real meaning behind his existence and the real values he must face.

Bla bla, this was really bad. It's fine to watch if you have nothing else but it's a film you can afford to skip. No noteworthy performances in here and not surprising that it got panned when it released in 2006. Ridley Scott & Russell Crowe should stick to making Gladiator or sequels, not attempt this.

Recommendation level: 1/5 - Yeah, you can skip this!
