I love this movie. It is from 2006 and I recently saw it again on TV. It features
Russell Crowe (not my favourite actor but suitably crusty in this),
Albert Finney (whose talent I have admired and followed forever, most recently in
Erin Brockovich),
Freddie Highmore (excellent young actor in
Finding Neverland, which was great and
August Rush, which was a good idea not delivered on), and
Marion Cotillard (whom I have never heard of but is
tres sympatique).
As with many movies I really enjoy, this is a story of redemption - stockbroking scoundrel in rainy, dreary London is left a vineyard in sunny Provence by his uncle, which sparks flashbacks of his visit(s) as an 11-12 year old. Recently got the book out from the library and it is not surprisingly fluffy. But this would be a good rental if you can find it.
