![]() Tagline: Everything matures... eventually.
Based on the novel by Peter Mayle, the film is about failed London banker Max Skinner (Crowe) who moves to Provence to tend a vineyard he inherited from his uncle, played by Albert Finney. There he encounters Cotillard's character, a beautiful California woman who says she is a long-lost cousin and lays claim to the property.
Oscar-winner Russell Crowe reunites with "Gladiator" director Ridley Scott in A Good Year, a Fox 2000 Pictures presentation of a Scott Free production. London-based investment expert Max Skinner (Crowe) moves to Provence to sell a small vineyard he has inherited from his late uncle. Max reluctantly settles into what ultimately becomes an intoxicating new chapter in his life, as he comes to realize that life is meant to be savored.
Scott produces from a screenplay by Marc Klein. The film also stars the esteemed Albert Finney as Max's late Uncle Henry, who imparts wisdom to his young nephew; Marion Cotillard ("A Very Long Engagement") as a café owner who catches Max's eye; Abbie Cornish ("Sommersault") as Max's supposed long-lost cousin, who may hold the vineyard's title rights; Tom Hollander ("Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest") as his best friend; and Freddie Highmore ("Finding Neverland") as the young Max.
