A well done love story, beautiful locations, well acted, cast, and directed
2 January 2006
Read the title. That says it all. It is so nice not to have contemporary "urban" themes in a film.

All of the actors were well chosen. The female, lead, Aitana, a name I am not familiar with was excellent, as was Anthony Quinn and Keanau Reeves.

I would have preferred if the director had not used as much "soft focus" as he did, but the location filming was beautiful.

I also think that the film could have been longer, as regards the end, perhaps to show the wedding.

I am familiar with the wine business, as one of my friends has a small plot in the Napa Valley where he raises Pinot Noir and Burgandy grapes and sells to a small winery.

With that in mind, I would have liked to have seen a sequel where Keanu and Pedro blend their ideas to restore and modernize the winery and watch some kids grow up. I sure would like to see all of these actors again.
