A lovely film that unfolds like a fairy tale and reminded me of Bergman's "The Seventh Seal" and Passolini's "Gospel of St. Matthew." The viticulture and winemaking is lovingly depicted, honoring the craftsmanship and sensibilities required to make a great vintage. But we lose track of a major character, (spoilers), Celeste, who may or may not go mad, who mayor may not cause Aurora's illness, and who absolutely does not age. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the rest of the characters when they show benevolence, vulnerability, depth, and courage.
