i did use the search function, but couldnt find anything on this movie....
has anyone seen it? its really good......made me kinda sad thinkin about war, and how people get called up without an option, but in so many little tiny details, made me really happy.
i also reckon its by the same director as Amelie, in fact i'm certain, as it has some of the same people in it, and has a very unique way of putting scenes together.
oh and its french,
anywayz.......

Its good, but I didn't think it was as good as Amelie. It was a bit anti-climatic at the end, also I didn't think if flowed particuarly well. Sometimes lots of great ideas can be too many ideas, I gave it 8.4/10 in the 'rate the films you see' thread. Its a good film and definately worth watching though.

I saw it. I thought it was ok, but i found it kinda confusing and boring for the first half and the ending was a bit anti-climactic. But it was beautiful and clever and i plan on watching it again.
it definitely had an Amelie feel to it, but i thought amelie was much better. Like, I bought Amelie first chance i got, but i wouldn't buy A Very Long Engagement, without watching at least 1 more time first.
but i liked it ya!

I liked it but was hoping that at the end, she'd find her fella in a dirty french bar drinking Stella Artois with a prostitute on his lap and turning to her as she walked in, saying "que?!"
The war scenes were fantastic and brutal. Loved the postman! Nearly dioes at the butt-massaage scene and thought jody foster was great but a bit unnecessary really.

Caro did do some designs for "Alien: resurrection" but pulled out because of all the Hollywood-hassle, I think.

it was one of the first dvd's I bought when I got a dvd-player.
so that must be about 2 years ago. I think it's an English edition, even. it's always been bargain price overhere, for some reason.
I loved the commentary track on that one.

"They have, guy. I've got it."

Have you got a multi-region dvd player? If so, play.com is your place of joy. I'm not sure how much shipping would cost to the US though.
