This movie... As a native from Provence, this movie is everything. Everytime I watch it, I see, smell and feel my hometown and this makes my day. Awesome
You’re so lucky to be a native. I spent a wonderful summer in Provence when I 16 and I have been in love with Provence ever since. I 100% agree with you…. I see, smell & feel it too. This movie captures it all beautifully, I never tire of watching it xx
Enjoy provence, someday i want to be there, enjoy those beautiful memories and feel happy! Lets enjoy life And lets keep playing this song!!! I love you man!
This is my favorite movie of all time. I've watched it probably 10 times. If I'm having a bad day or a bad week I'll watch it. It always takes me to a better place. I love the soundtrack. It makes me want to drink wine in the sun and have a cigar.
I had a blessed uncle who raised me on a idyllic farm, he was like Albert Finney in this movie, he was a friend a rascal and an uncle, I grew up not realizing how blessed I was, I miss him now and he lives on through me I tell my wife stories about him and drink his favorite whiskey he was larger than life and so intelligent but never a snob or a bore, he died and hilariously there was a lot of weeping ladies at his grave, I was shy had a stutter he learned me to not take things so seriously x I miss you uncle Georgie pudding and pie who kissed the girls but in this instance did not make them cry x yes this film is wonderful x
When the madness of the World begins to weigh on my soul, I watch this movie....or even just listening to the soundtrack takes me back - sun on my face....vineyards in the distance....lavender, cicadas....the magic of Provence never fails to cure!!!!!!
15 years on & the film somehow started to feel like the storyline itself. Like wine it gets better, more beautiful and charming with age. On a bad day, it's soothing to acknowledge uncle Henry's words while listening to this song: You'll come to see that a man learns nothing from winning. The act of losing, however, can elicit great wisdom. Not least of which is, uh... how much more enjoyable it is to win. It's inevitable to lose now and again. The trick is not to make a habit of it. Drink? :-)
not many movies are able to keep my soul warm even for days after watching them. this is one of them, might even be the best one. the emotions this movie makes me feel are indescribable. it makes me want to live life to the fullest. isn't that the best thing a movie can possibly do?
Just watched this movie again for the n-th time. I definitely could smell the lavender and the scent of the dust rising from the dirt road from the Château La Canorgue. Also the sun caressing my face through the trees leaves from Place de l'étang in Cucuron. Each year asking myself why don't I just go back and make an endless summer for the rest of my life in a Provencal way.
Im happy to see that everyone who has seen the film enjoys it as thoroughly as I do. There are feelings so deep that are conjured from the movie, let alone the soundtrack, that mere words cannot begin to describe. Its one of those movies that will stick with you the rest of your life.
Is there anything better than a good glass of wine with a wonderful, smiling woman in front of a gorgeous view and some great music perfect for dancing together?
Anglo-borghese Boncompagni All so very true, sadly this is as close as I can get to going back to those halcyon days, but the love is with me always and so is she. This music and the film are pure nostalgia, bliss and times so wonderful.
One of my favorite "feel-good" movies. I watch it at least twice a year :) Never expected a guy who played Maximus Decimus Meridius aka The Spaniard to pull of such a romantic role.
1:17 came on and reminded me of when I met an old friend in France.... All my memories came flooding back to me. They weren't good memories.... They were grand
I have seen allot of movies in my life, but this is the best I have ever seen every moment in this film is rich & extraordinary makes you feel like you are there also. You will never get tired watching it. It is made in such a way where you will look at life differently.The music is beyond my imagination and words.
Mijn favoriete film aller tijden. Zeker al 15x gezien. De sfeer is buitengewoon mooi! Op dit moment ook nog op vakantie in deze heerlijke regio in de Provence ! In het echt nog mooier !
It was a good movie back then and I still find it the same way in 2023. I'm not a movie maker but I find it charming, well-made and well-acted, maybe the critics are exposed to too much marvel movies or they just don't know how to appreciate the simplest pleasure in life
We have a good year party, watch the film, French bread, cheeses, wine, the works, we have done it loads of times, never tire of it, perfect film and soundtrack !!
This movie was so underrated by the critic... I bet Ridley Scott and all the cast and staff are so proud of this little piece of magic and beauty throught the simple meanings of life... I really love this movie... and I want to say, inspired by this awsome and intense feeling: I love Christiane Schardong!
Ridley Scott's panache and class is light years above the soapy, empty gush that has become embroidered loudly as 'FORGETTABLE' on the romcom label. So fluent, nostalgic and very poetic movie and music a match made in heaven - a Scott trait.
Πραγματικά πανέμορφο! Σε ταξιδεύει, όσες φορές και να το ακούσω δεν το χορταινω. Πρώτη φορά το άκουσα σε μερικές σκηνές από τη σειρά Δεληγιάννειο παρθεναγωγείο και έκτοτε έχει χαραχτεί μέσα μου! ❤️❤️❤️
Mine is "I would like a lifetime spent with an irrational and suspicious goddess, some short-tempered jealousy on the side, and a bottle of wine that tastes like you, a glass that's never empty."
By far the best movie of all time, it transcends generations. My mom and I have seen it countless times and it always inspires us. The protagonist, the music and the environment are epic. He deserved an Oscar
I WATCHED THE MOVIE LIKE 50 TIMES !! REMINDED ME THAT THE BEST THING IN LIFE IS THE ONE YOU CHOOSE AS YOUR LIFE PARTNER !!! I DONT DRINK ANYMORE!! BUT THE ENTIRE STORY IS SUCH A CUTE MOVIE!!! WITH A LIFE LESSON!!! I AM BUILDING MY ESTATE FOR MY GRAND CHILDREN... LIFE IS GREAT MY FRIENDS!!!!!
He is one of the greatest actors living and this film is still one of my top 5 favourites. It’s not even the same genre of film that the other 4 are and it’s still so good.
so beautiful, like all life comme up, down, a magical dance of life,. really beauty.. thanks for aller people in this world can give the beauty to the others... :)
When i was a child, my parents used to go wih us to the provence... It reminds of the beautiful landscape and being young and free... it's so so so amazing...
This movie is heaven came across it by chance watched it x2 The scenery the smell the music the chateaux and the handsome Russell Crow /and Marianne Wise man Albert Finney I could see myself there i wood be very happy listening to Wisdom ...so beautiful
Ho visto il film senza tante aspettative ed è diventata una di quelle pellicole che rivedo sempre con tanto piacere. Film molto gradevole e colonna sonora che ti accompagna con delicatezza.
La Siroque is actually Chateau La Canorgue in Bonnieux, France. Would love to go, but way to expensive. Vietnam vet on meager disability. Loved this so much. A masterpiece to me. All humans should see this. Lights up your soul. Reminds of childhood & Tennessee vacations. Didn't go back for many years. When I finally did, all I had were such fond memories. I could go on & on.💕
guarderei questo film ogni volta che mi sento giù, la musica che lo accompagna è una splendida cornice, come la meravigliosa fotografia della Provenza e la leggerezza e dolcezza della storia
If I knew I had one last hour before I died and I can spend it according to my wish I would want to sit in front the Taj Mahal in a wintry full moon night with this music playing in the background. All by myself. My whole life would be complete with nothing more to ask for....
I can watch this movie over and over again ❤ infact this movie is so relaxing that one just feels like leaving all the unwanted rat race and living a simpler fuller life which of course is being practised by me now being 40. Working in limit, heading off for small getaways every now and then.
this soooo reminds back in 2007 ,when I first came to Bratislava...Didn't have much money and no tv....so I buy this dvd and watch it on my company laptop,and again and again and again beautifu
This was an absolute favourite film of mine & my late Wife's, if there was ever a film to get just lost in then this was ours... I'd sort of used the whole film as a 'Theme' for Christmas one yr & bought her a number of items that you could associate with it, a model of Max's Car, Tennis Balls from Max & Duflot's Tennis Match etc etc
This makes me think of growing from a boy to a man. My first apartment, my first job, car, and my first love. Everything was so grandiose, to me, and amazing. But it was still delicate, as was I, and it was a big upheaval. Fun, though! 😊❤️
just beautiful... and if one has seen the picture. it takes you all around in such a mesmerizing way, it's like flying in the clouds with this one. this one is very different...
I love this movie one of my friend he's like him 😊🎉 Thanku sir I really respect my friend Mr ...you are outstanding charismatic intense you came in my life April 14 2023 I never forget you ❤️. Mentor of my life bcz I learnt a deep meaning of love divine 💜 gifted me you Thanku 💞
Con solo ver esta película.. me da una sensación de tranquilidad increíble, de mis películas favoritas de toda la vida, puedo verla cientos de veces y me vuelvo a emocionar cada vez.
Beautiful every time I listen to this peace of music I have appreciation to be listening to this beautiful peace of music and I feel I am in France. FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
