A Good Year

Designer: Sonja Klaus

Director: Ridley Scott

In A Good Year (Ridley Scott, 2006) Russell Crowe plays an investment broker who inherits his uncle’s chateau and vineyard in Provence, where he spent much of his childhood. Arriving with the intention to sell the estate, the laid-back French lifestyle and happy memories of youth rub off on him. This film is a light-hearted Rom Com, if a little clichéd (surprisingly so for Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe) but the film location hunting team did a fine job of choosing beautiful southern French locations (Cucuron and the stunning landscapes of the Vaucluse and Luberon areas) which make us want to jump on the next Eurostar and set decorator Sonja Klaus picks out some inspirational and eclectic vintage furniture for the jaw dropping chateau itself.
