When you start walking away from the croisette, there is a thinly laid out display for the reunion of director Niki Caro and her Whale Rider featured star Keisha Castle-Hughes. The two New Zealanders have wrapped up shooting The Vintner’s

Also starring are is one of my favorites in Vera Farmiga and dueling male thesps Jérémie Renier and Gaspard Ulliel.
