A GOOD YEAR was set in France and celebrates life in a blend of romance and comedy filmed on scene: both fans of the movie and newcomers will find most accessible a recap of the story, blending over a hundred color photos with interviews with authors Ridley Scott and Peter Mayle. Winemaking culture comes to life under this treatment and A GOOD YEAR is thus recommended for both film libraries and any with an interest in winemaking history and French culture - and comedy.

Loved the movie, loved the book, wished it had more pictures of the chateau in it.

A Good Year is one of my favorite films. My wife and I watch it together all the time for the way it captures simple country life in Provence. Having a book that shows me some of the best moments is nice. I wish more movies would do this. When i was growing up, all of my favorotes had movie story books filled with pictures. They don't do that for "big people" movies much anymore.
The book is filled with great photos that capture the important and funnier moments of the film. There are plenty of behind the scenes facts and a great interview with Peter Mayle and Ridley Scott. A pleasure to read and I recommend it to any fan of the film.
