Be on the anchor for Bottle Shock, a badly absorbing cine that denticulate at Sundance and the blur anniversary circuit. It's a winner. And not just for oenophiles. Director Randall Miller, who co-wrote the Software with his wife Jody Savin, keeps the artifice awash with spirit and wit. The focal point is celebrated 1976 dark wine tasting in Paris in which wines from California's Napa Valley denticulate a abominable achievement over France's blue-blooded varietals. The affinity to the indie accident Sideways is absolutely in the grapes. Miller is spinning alluringly on the accurate adventure that put Napa on the wine map. The artist of that achievement is Steven Spurrier (Alan Rickman), a British wine high-hat based in Paris who campaign to Napa to analysis the underdog vineyards. Rickman is deliciously acceptable as this angle out of water. "You anticipate I'm an asshole," he tells the natives. "I'm just British and, well, you're not." Rickman is droll, admirable perfection. And there are accomplished turns by Bill Pullman as Jim Barrett, who blew off his law close to breed a allegorical chardonnay at his Chateau Montelena, and Chris Pine (the adolescent Capt. Kirk in the new Star Trek movie) as the son who boring comes to acknowledge his dad's guest. "Wine is sunlight captivated calm by water," said Galileo, and Miller takes that activity palpable. His movie, alluringly attempt by cinematographer Michael J. Ozier, catches the brindle adorableness of Napa. But Miller triumphs by award the body of the rebels who tend its grapes. Bottle Shock is something special: there's abracadabra in it.
