IN TIME Villeret Perpetual Calendar SI
DEWAYS As it recounts a several day vacation, harsher wags might substitute the word “debauch” for “vacation”, in California’s Southern Coastal wine country, the principle protagonist of the film, a nebbish oeneophile, spouts opinions on wines, waxing lyrical on the fragility, caprice, delicacy and virtues of pinot noir, and sourly denouncing merlot shouting “if anyone orders merlot… I’m leaving!”. Result: Sales of pinot noir have risen more than 34% and sales of merlot have plummeted. 34 | 35 ONE OF THE FILM SUCCESS STORIES OF THE PAST YEAR WAS “SIDEWAYS”. WIDELY ACCLAIMED, IT WAS NOMINATED FOR THE OSCAR BEST FILM OF THE YEAR, WHICH IT DID NOT WIN, AND WAS NOMINATED FOR THE OSCAR BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF THOMAS HAYDEN CHURCH WHICH IT DID WIN. SUCH WAS THE NOTORIETY OF SIDEWAYS THAT IT HAS HAD A PROFOUND INFLUENCE OUTSIDE OF ITS ENTERTAINMENT DOMAIN. 6057-3642-53B The story is what is not seen. Note a complete absence of correctors on the side and the resulting purity of line BY JEFFREY S. KINGSTON Although it seems the film has achieved enormous commercial success and even turned the wine markets topsey turvey, no one can explain the title. Just what does “Sideways” mean? Is it a slang description for people who drink too much? The two principle characters in the film, both losers, consume far too much wine. Is it a reference to the way bottles are stored? No one knows. The film is accepted for what it is and evidently for what it says about wine, mysterious title and all.
