Review of A Very Long Engagement (2004) by Nic Y — 07 Nov 2009
OK, so Jean-Pierre Jeunet is back, sticking his filmic style to his homeland, and explores the senselessness of war with the characteristic gourgeousness and humor that Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (2001) posessed. It is moving and visually beautiful, but I'm utterly convinced of the fact that I'm not the only one who can perceive American melodrama. A good film that surpasses the likes of Joe Wright, with a good cast, but it may be a sign of the worriness of Jeunet fans towards Jeunet himself. Will he achieve redemption?
82/100.
