Film: A Very Long Engagement

[rock_lobster]

I've searched for this and I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned here already?

Its from the same director as Ameile, Jean Pierre Jeunet. With many of the same cast and with the addition of Jodie Foster.

I have to say I thought it was a fantastic film and I'd highly recommend it. The director has some mind. When I felt the film was starting to sag a little, the end just blew me away.

I've been meaning to start this thread since I saw it at the weekend.

I really enjoyed it, but can't help thinking that Jeunet's imagination hasn't progressed that much since Amelie... He uses a lot of the same tricks (such as the potted history flashbacks) as in amelie and many of the characters are the same (including the lead). It makes me wonder how much of the fucking amazing inventiveness of his early films came from Marc Caro (what has happened to him?).

All in all though, despite my moans from above, definately an awesome film, I'd highly recommend going to see it (unless your screen-name is sounygourda ). Some of the shots just look like an oil painting, with amazing colours that seem to smear into eachother. Plus Audrey Tatou gets her bum out :D
