Description
The ultimate film about wine and wine culture, iMondovino/i offers an unprecedented look into the conflicts, conspiracies and alliances of the wine trade. Filmed by award-winning director Jonathan Nossiter, Mondovino has sparked controversy in its theatrical run among wine producers, distributors and consumers as it shed light on the esoteric world of wine. Hailed as "Fahrenheit 9/11 for the grape" by MSNBC. p An epic exploration into the modern world of wine, iMondovino/i was filmed across three continents, in five languages, over a three-year period. With an insider's access and an artist's eye, Nossiter weaves together multiple family and multi-generational sagas, all stemming from the production, distribution and consumption of one of the oldest, most respected and still-affordable luxuries. Juxtaposing artesian wine growers with multi-national conglomerates, and peasants with billionaires, the film gives voice to those who create, critique and are involved in the commerce of wine, offering up a surprisingly prismatic, varied and sometimes controversial glimpse into something everyone enjoys but few people know much about.

 Great movie, terrible music June 23, 2008
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
This documentary has some of the worst music I have ever heard. It has some silly cliches, like american oaky wines are destroying the world and how all corporations are evil. Regardless it is still a fascinating account.

good way to understand world business nowadays, and since humans deal with commerce.br /it's also about life, families, history, tradition, money, empires, globalization ... the wine is just the supportbr /br /br /ps don't be bothered by the camera movements like many people in these reviews, it's impossible to have real moments with a tripod ... imagine, just a moment ... wait a second ... wait ... now can you said that again and pretend that you are being genuine ... or just let us seat still and talk about life ... oooh wait we need to go outside, 'cause that where the wine is coming from ... etc i got the idea is part of the documentaries kit ... there's no other way
Very interesting, but do not agree with most of its content December 24, 2007

It is a very "european" view of wines and wine industry. Some of the critics to influential people are true, but most opinions come from tye traditional way of producing and marketing wine, and this definitely changed. Thera are very massive and very exclusive wines. The lasts will continue to be produced and marketed as allways, but there are millions of people that know nothing about terroir, but need to know about brands, varietals or countries to get a good product. This is the way wines are to be marketed in this century.
Not for 'Stoopid' People! Intelligence Required to View. November 24, 2007

The low scoring reviews are sickening. Many reviewers state inaccurately that this is a left wing documentary. Though in nature, most documentaries are biased left, this shows many aspects relevent to both views or neither.br /br /The overall point of this documentary is to get the viewer thinking. Is wine becoming stylistically blurred? Are there wines to please Parker's palate? Does Michel Rolland say Micro-oxygenate excessively? Is James Suckling a giant douchbag? Is this a great look into the dirty, usually unseen underbelly of the wine world?br /br /YES to all.br /br /Should you run out and buy this?br /br /Maybe, but 'flix it first.br /br /
