Was it really necessary to include embarrassing footage of non-participants in a documentary. And why all the silly dog scenes, and then repetition of all the same silly dog scenes? This film starts with a great promise - to expose the international politics and the business of wine. It got off to a great start and included all the right characters. But the production is a mess. Points started and developed most of the way, then never finished or left with dangling ends. Very poor and disorienting camera work and editing. They should have used subtitles for the British mumbler from Christie's.
Too much fluff and not enough fact for a documentary.
Probably honored at Cannes because of the US bashing (although in my opinion there was too little of it).
We left at the 2:00 hour mark - I have no idea how much longer it ran on.
