What happens

A Good Year is a 2006 romantic comedy-drama film directed and produced by Ridley Scott, based on the 2004 novel by Peter Mayle. The film stars Russell Crowe, Marion Cotillard, Didier Bourdon, Abbie Cornish, Tom Hollander, Freddie Highmore and Albert Finney. British investment broker Max Skinner discovers he is the only known relative of his uncle Henry, so inherits his Provence chateau and vineyard, where he spent many of his summers. As he spruces up the estate to be sold, he rediscovers what he had loved about the place. The film was released theatrically in the United Kingdom on 27 October 2006 and in the United States on 10 November 2006 by 20th Century Fox. It received mixed reviews from critics and was a box office bomb, grossing $42.3 million against its $35 million budget and resulting in a $20 million loss for Fox, but it received nominations for the Critics Choice Award for Best Young Actor and the Satellite Award for Best Cinematography.
