Sideways

SidewaysVentnor Film Society presents Sideways (certificate 15, 123 mins) at the Botanic Gardens Visitors’ Centre on Tuesday 13 December 2005.

This glorious, bittersweet comedy of male friendship and midlife crisis is a delight. The film starts with two old friends setting off on a wine-tasting road trip through California, only to veer into a comedic exploration of the crazy vicissitudes of love and friendship, the persistence of loneliness and the enduring war between Pinot and Cabernet.
