Fascinating portrait of the wine business and the people running it! I doubt you even have to be interested in wine – the drama and intrigue is quite enough to keep you watching. And the camera insisting on capturing the ambience (dogs mainly) during interviews gives it a touch of comedy – making the subject matter anything but dry.
Besides being about wine, Mondovino also portrays the struggling principles of globalization and local tradition. How market economy and media influence is changing businesses and public opinion worldwide.
Highly recommended!
