i do not understand at all why this movie receive such good grade from critic i have see ten of documentary ( on tv ) about the wine world which be much much good when ( if ) you watch it and please think of two very annoying aspect of mondovino represent first and the filming be just awful and terrible and upsetting represent to me and it look like the guy behind the camera just receive the material and be play with it represent plenty of zoom ( for no purpose other than push the button in or out ) for instance i almost stop to watch it because of that . secondly and the interviewer ( the director i think ) be not really relevant represent he look like and ask question like a boy scout and not like a journalist and even if the general idea and theme would have be interesting and too bad conclusion represent overrate documentary and maybe only for guy who do not know nothing about wine equal > not recommend at all ( negative ) .
