Trivia / A Good Year

• Creator's Oddball: Ridley Scott, who normally directs big Spectacle action movies, doing a romantic comedy. Even when compared to Matchstick Men it's an odd choice.
• Fake American: Abbie Cornish as Christie, who hails from Napa Valley.
• Fake Brit: One of many films in which New Zealander Russell Crowe played a British man.
• Vacation, Dear Boy: In a case where "vacation" means "working near my summer home", the film was born out of Ridley Scott's desire of a movie set near his house in Provence, France.
