A Good Year (2006)
9/10
brings back memories
18 March 2011
It's nice when you see a movie which is going to affect you emotionally. Well, A Good Year is exactly this kind of movie. It tells a story of a man who goes back to a peaceful château where he spent his childhood. He discovers new laid-back lifestyle which leads him to the woman he loves. It shows perfectly how something unexpected can change your life. The film totally delivers. It's a touchy and romantic tale which has a bit drama and comedy. In my opinion, underrated.

Russell Crowe shows his versatility. His character, Max Skinner, develops throughout the movie and it's satisfying to see. And I give my word, Marion Cotillard doesn't leave you cold. She's very likable. Brilliant Albert Finney cameos too.

The movie has several flashbacks to Max's childhood. I think many people, who have seen the movie, thought about their childhood afterwards. At least for a while. It's great. A Good Year is A Good Film.
