  1. Mondovino est un docu’ long en bouche, subtilement militant, une charge irrésistible contre la mondialisation. Enquête passionnante dans les coulisses du business viticole, où se mène une guerre à mort entre simples vignerons contre capitaines d’industrie multinationale. Le film réussit à traiter d’un sujet considérable, en termes économiques et culturels. A la façon d’un Michael Moore, il nous prend par la main, et nul besoin d’être un spécialiste pour savourer.
