A Good Year (2006)
One another brilliant find from Ridley Scott missed so long especially from my one of favorite actor Russell Crowe. Story is about a Successful investment broker Max Skinner ( Russell ) in London happen to travel to France after many years when he gets to know that he inherits a old house and a vineyard left by his uncle after his death. Max spent most of his childhood there in that place with his uncle but life pushed him to become a money making machine but at cost of missing the very essence of life. When he travels back to France to complete some documentation procedures to inherit and sell that vineyard , that short stay has a huge impact on him turning his life upside down making him realize whats more important this life has for us then money can give. That short journey is what this story is all about.
Movie is visually stunning at most times , picture perfect scenes when
covering the scenic beauty of France and its country side , those serene
places were perfectly brought to the screen. Adding to that , those
little friendship , his love track and his cousin intro were all so good
and adds more beauty to this film. Especially the scenes when he has
those nostalgic effect every time he goes by those places he used to
spend in his childhood that pool tennis court etc..they were really
wonderful and at last Max decision to choose love over money gives that
perfect balance for a feel good movie. This is one of beautiful family
drama i would call with some brilliant visuals supported by some
beautiful BGM. A Movie definitely need to be experienced.

Max Skinner: This place does not suit my life.
Fanny Chenal: No Max, it's your life that does not suit this place.
Fanny Chenal: No Max, it's your life that does not suit this place.
Uncle Henry Skinner: You'll come to see that a man learns nothing from winning. The act of losing, however, can elicit great wisdom. Not least of which is, uh... how much more enjoyable it is to win. It's inevitable to lose now and again. The trick is not to make a habit of it.
