It's in French with english subtitles IIRC.
Mondovino was an independent flick about the modern wine industry and how certain people such as Parker have influenced the way vintners make wine specifically to cater to their tastes. It gave alot of examples of small wineries who lost their identities to get better ratings and fame. It opened my eyes quite a bit. They also showed how huge wineries were crushing the identities of the small guys and buying out their land etc.
It was a little difficult to watch and drawn out in some parts but I would recommend it to any wine maker or aspiring vinyard owner.
Yeah this is one of the best independant movies I've seen. Funny, smart, and interesting. It was nice to see I'm not the only guys in the world making wine with tattoos. It seems like everyone has the impression its only old Italians and uptight snobs who make wine!
