DVD Reviews of Mondovino
DVD Review: Terroir vs Vanilla-lization of Wine
Summary: 5 Stars
Unbiased, informative video on the current trends in the wine world. It talks about how wines are becoming all alike, done to please particular tastes in wine. The film also shows smaller traditional producers and distributors who support stand firm in their traditions. It's unbiased - even if for some it has an air of anti-capitalism -, it's one of the most eye-opening documentaries on wine out there. If you like wine and are interested and willing to expand your wine knowledge, buy this DVD.DVD Review: Mondovino
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a fascinating movie for those with strong interest in the politics and economics of the wordwide wine industry.
For the more casual viewer the length of the film and reliance on subtitles may have a slumber effect!
The filmmakeer clearly has a strong point of view in this documentary style work of 3 hours plus.
The messsage appears to be only the winemakers in the old world( Notably France)deserve to be recognized. New World success stories notably the Mondavi family,are purveyors of fast food (drink) Old World
"collaberators" ( Frescobaldis , Mouton Rothschild) with the New World are the equivalent of McDonald's franchisees on the Champs Elyssee!
DVD Review: Good documentary with a terrible soundtrack
Summary: 3 Stars
For such a commercially successful documentary , Mondovino had some of the worst music I have ever heard. The fact that the bad music left such a lasting impression attests to how awful it was. The film contained a few eye-roll worthy cliches, like oaky American wines are "destroying the world" and how "all corporations are evil." Aside from the bad soundtrack and occasional passe cliches, the documentary was very interesting and lived up to a lot of its hype. DVD Review: Le vin du monde
Summary: 5 Stars
I think that everybody who enjoys wine and likes to travel should see Mondovino. This is the best informative documentary about wine.
DVD 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
Description of Mondovino
The ultimate film about wine and wine culture, Mondovino offers an unprecedented look into the conflicts, conspiracies and alliances of the wine trade. Filmed by award-winning director Jonathan Nossiter, Mondovino has sparked controversy in its theatrical run among wine producers, distributors and consumers as it shed light on the esoteric world of wine. Hailed as "Fahrenheit 9/11 for the grape" by MSNBC.An epic exploration into the modern world of wine, Mondovino was filmed across three continents, in five languages, over a three-year period. With an insider's access and an artist's eye, Nossiter weaves together multiple family and multi-generational sagas, all stemming from the production, distribution and consumption of one of the oldest, most respected and still-affordable luxuries. Juxtaposing artesian wine growers with multi-national conglomerates, and peasants with billionaires, the film gives voice to those who create, critique and are involved in the commerce of wine, offering up a surprisingly prismatic, varied and sometimes controversial glimpse into something everyone enjoys but few people know much about.
