For us it was a very light and easy film to follow. It has a special meaning for us because we are hoping to move to France soon, so yes I am biased. Very good the way the film jumps back to the childhood of Max and his uncle, reminds me of my childhood to a degree. The music really sets the mood, even though some of it was performed when I was a youngster. the most outstanding piece of music for me was the Wedding Samba by Edmundo Ros ( he really was before my time , but still a haunting song ) The film had laughter and slight sadness, the bold brash Max, the financial wizard was played brilliantly by Russell Crow ( just as he usually does ), and it is the way the director has overlaped the old and new and sad and funny. Of course there wouldn't be much of a story if there was'nt a pretty girl and boy is she a stunner.Predictable ending, he warms to the sunshine of Provence and the girl.
