    From concrete forests to idylls, typical urban sick maniacs passively seek redemption. The theme of this kind of spiritual return is very meaningful, and the rural customs and details are also healing, but the plot is not brilliant. The final epiphany of the protagonist is triggered by love, but it is basically because of being fired, although it has more practical significance. It makes people believe that the lawyer's sentence "you can't live like this for a long time"...

    MACK students commented: English dialogue, French taste. The plot is cliché, the style is petty bourgeoisie, and the scenery is beautiful. It's almost like this, Cotillard is a goddess. Needless to say, Scott is also a romantic and lighthearted?

A Good Year quotes

  • Christie Roberts: Did you know that dad mixed a martini for Winston Churchill? He also danced a waltz with Amelia Earhart in 1975.

    Max Skinner: Well, considering that Amelia Earhart died in the 1930's, that's a perfect example of the type of exaggerator Uncle Henry was. Want to know the real Uncle Henry? Not the one your overactive imagination is manufacturing? The *real* Henry Skinner was a man so afraid of committing to the real world, that he retreated from life to drink and shag his way to a lonely and loveless end.

  • Christie Roberts: [Speaking to Max] If this place meant as much to him as I believe it did, you're worse than I thought for even *thinking* about selling it... I'll leave tomorrow.
