(aka 'A Very Long Engagement')

directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet
France 2004

In the closing days of World War I, Mathilde Donnay's greatest fight is about to begin as she goes in search of the man she loves, a man she has been told has died in A Very Long Engagement. If Manech were dead, Mathilde would know. Mathilde (Audrey Tautou--Amélie) receives word that her fiancé, Manech (Gaspard Ulliel), is one of five soldiers court-martialed for intentionally wounding themselves and pushed out to an almost-certain death in the no-man's land armies. Unwilling to accept that Manech is lost to her forever, Mathilde begins an extraordinary journey to discover the fate of her lover. At each turn, Mathilde encounters another, different, variation of how Manech must have spent his final days ... yet Mathilde never gives up and never lets go.

Comments:

Certainly a most beautifully shot film. I could have taken several more screen captures. We hope to compare this to the alternate DVD versions at some point. There is an intentional orange haze over much of the film and it is translated well to this Region 1 DVD package. Again a very thick, heavy appearance to the image becomes a function of style and seems appropriate considering the time period of the film. Subtitles are excellent as is the 5.1 original audio track, the motion menus look marvelous but my only complaint might be the extensive time it takes for their animations to enact - very slow. Commentary by the director - that I have not yet completed but the 2nd disc extras are top notch - in fact the whole DVD is a wonderful package by Warner - doing their utmost to stay astride with Criterion. We recommend!  out of
