very long engagement

no.122 A Very Long Engagement

Loved nearly everything about this film. It's got the quirky Amelie Jean-Pierre Jeunet stamp all over it. Granted, it's no Alien Resurrection, thank god! It's all about the details, the little side notes and graphics are what make this movie. The cinematography is breathtaking, in battle or at the lighthouse. I love Audrey Tautou and Marion Cotillard as black and white portrayals of women who are desperate in seeking answers or vengeance for their lovers.

MMM - truly a very long engagement when you realize these two characters were made for one another from the age of six. Twenty years is more than enough to wait?
