On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha continue their exploration of 2004's SIDEWAYS directed by Alexander Payne and starring Paul Giamatti, Virginia Madsen, Thomas Haden Church and Sandra Oh. A wonderful time capsule of a film that was a surprising hit for everyone involved garnering 5 Academy Award nominations with a win for Best Adapted Screenplay and changing the wine industry forever. This episode picks up right after Jack has told Miles about Victoria's marriage. We see Miles deal with his pain over that news, explore him getting closer to Maya as Jack and Stephanie indulge their physical desires and glimpse happiness until one fateful slip of Miles's tongue changes everything. The guys go thru the movie scene by scene to break down the direction, acting, story beats, soundtrack choices and action sequences.
