Movie Reviews of Mondovino
Movie Review: This is a perfect doc
Summary: 5 Stars
good way to understand world business nowadays, and since humans deal with commerce.
it's also about life, families, history, tradition, money, empires, globalization ... the wine is just the support
ps don't be bothered by the camera movements like many people in these reviews, it's impossible to have real moments with a tripod ... imagine, just a moment ... wait a second ... wait ... now can you said that again and pretend that you are being genuine ... or just let us seat still and talk about life ... oooh wait we need to go outside, 'cause that where the wine is coming from ... etc i got the idea is part of the documentaries kit ... there's no other way
Movie Review: Not for 'Stoopid' People! Intelligence Required to View.
Summary: 5 Stars
The low scoring reviews are sickening. Many reviewers state inaccurately that this is a left wing documentary. Though in nature, most documentaries are biased left, this shows many aspects relevent to both views or neither.
The overall point of this documentary is to get the viewer thinking. Is wine becoming stylistically blurred? Are there wines to please Parker's palate? Does Michel Rolland say Micro-oxygenate excessively? Is James Suckling a giant douchbag? Is this a great look into the dirty, usually unseen underbelly of the wine world?
YES to all.
Should you run out and buy this?
Maybe, but 'flix it first.
Movie Review: How did they ever let those filmmakers in?
Summary: 5 Stars
What a heavenly film about the wine world. Documentarions travelled to France, Italy and California interviewing some of the greatest winemakers and, in other cases, some of the most powerful wine merchants in the world, including the consultants andRobert Parker,s still the most important wine critic. If you think the wine world is absent the kind of treachery or price manipulation that you associate with Exxon, you are much mistaken. This film is beautiful and fascinating to watch. Extraordinary people like Piero Antinori are everything you imagined but to see him and hear him is to gain a sense of Italy, of Tuscany, of a world far removed from ours-- just marvelous.Movie Review: Truth Well Told
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have an interest in wine - this is a worts and all, must see film. delightfully personal and engaging, this works for me on several levels: seeing the approach of the noble gentry and the humble farmer. The banal conformity of commercial point-seeking winemakers. The philosophical difference from the big to the small grower - slick marketing versus pride and passion. The power of the press - at last someone has pricked the bubble that is the unholy alliance of journalists and big business, no where more devious than in the drinks trade.A delightful film for allwine professionals and consumers alike.Movie Review: Very interesting, but do not agree with most of its content
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a very "european" view of wines and wine industry. Some of the critics to influential people are true, but most opinions come from tye traditional way of producing and marketing wine, and this definitely changed. Thera are very massive and very exclusive wines. The lasts will continue to be produced and marketed as allways, but there are millions of people that know nothing about terroir, but need to know about brands, varietals or countries to get a good product. This is the way wines are to be marketed in this century.
