I really enjoyed this captivating film and give it a solid 8 rating. I have not read the book as others have in this thread, and that withstanding, I had no problems with the scenes involving Xas nor any other aspect of this very good film.
I enjoy wine very much and I believe this film does justice to the pain and pleasure of winemaking. As Xas stated, one must experience both.
As far as the way Xas possibly "getting what he wanted", it's my personal opinion that this is not the case. I believe he truly cared for Sobran and I don't believe he used him to achieve his own personal goals. After all, it was Sobran who made the offer to have him with him to make the (final) vintage.
You know you've seen Fight Club enough times when you've seen it ONCE, ALL the way through!
