01/17/06 A Very Long Engagement

A Very Long Engagement (2004), directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet

watched solo; DVD (borrowed from Jason) @ home

I love Jeunet's films, and their masterful cinematography. They always have a sense of quest, encountering many curious creatures along the way. Set in WWI-era Europe, this is a powerful love story that plays out through the horrors of war. The landscape is both brilliant and sad at the same time. Awesome. And the one other note on this...in honor of my best friend whom I borrowed the film from, it is he & his wife's anniversary today...which works in the title & choice of material for me.

4 out of 5 stars.

    Mo,
    While I agree that Delicatessen f-in rocked, your crazy. A Very Long Engagement is a well made film but lacks the same wonder that Amélie had, and therefore it tends to be looked at as "poop". Either way Audrey Tautou is hot.
