In 2002, she got Keisha Castle-Hughes got her first Oscar nomination (The Whale Rider), in 2005 she got Charlize Theron her second Oscar nomination (North Country) and after a long 4 year break, filmmaker Niki Caro is back but with period piece THE VINTNER’S LUCK
The movie doesn’t have a U.S. release date at the moment but it will be shown at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival. You can watch the trailer below, which I gotta say isn’t that impressive and I’m not sure if this is any Oscar worthy. It’s just another ordinary love triangle romantic drama of betrayal and affair if you ask me.
The Vintners Luck is an irresistible story of love, wine and angels set in early 19th century France. It tells the tale of an ambitious young peasant winemaker and his lifelong relationship with an angel as together they grapple with the sensual, the sacred and the profane in search of the perfect vintage.
