• A Very Long Engagement [2004]

  Hossein Afghah 20 April 2005

  

  This film delivered exactly what you would expect from its great director John Pierre Jeunet. The story was gripping from start to finish and despite the long runtime, you would'nt check the time at any stage in the film.
  The story is about a young girl named Mathilde (Audrey Tautou) who's lover, Manech (Gaspard Ulliel) has gone to fight for the French army. While she doesn't get any news on his condition, she never loses hope that he'll return. The film centres on the ups and downs that Mathilde goes through as she tries to find Manech during which time the film's directors expertly shed light on how they fell in love in the first place; By the end of the movie the audience will somehow find themself feeling that they're involved in the story.
  This romantic tale would sattisfy anyone with different tastes with it's great action scenes and superb special effects, while still including some comic moments. If you enjoyed Amelie and you're a John Pierre Jeunet fan, this movie is among his best work, up there with the best. A must own DVD.

French war drama. As World War One draws to an end, a young French woman's greatest fight is about to begin. Mathilde (Audrey Tautou) has received word that her fiancee Manech (Gaspard Ulliel) is one of five wounded soldiers who have been court-martialed and pushed out into no-man's land between the French and the German armies - and almost certain death. Unwilling to accept that her beloved Manech is lost to her forever, Mathilde embarks on an extraordinary journey to discover the fate of her lover.
