(aka 'A Very Long Engagement')
directed by
Jean-Pierre Jeunet
France
Both epic and intimate, A Very Long Engagement reunites Audrey Tautou and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the star and director of the hugely popular Amelie. A young woman named Mathilde (Tautou) separated from her lover by World War I refuses to believe he's been killed and launches an investigation into his fate--an investigation that spins in all directions, creating dozens of miniature stories (including that of an Italian prostitute avenging the death of her own lover by elaborate means) that shift to and fro in time. The dazzling curlicues of narrative put brutality and tenderness back to back, shifting between crushing inevitabilities and miraculous rescues with deft storytelling skill and the lush visual style of the director of Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children. Through it all, Tautou--fierce and luminous--anchors the movie effortlessly. She's among the most emotionally engaging actresses in cinema, with the kind of expressive beauty that transcends language. A gorgeous, far-reaching film; the huge cast also includes Jodie Foster (The Silence of the Lambs), Gaspard Ulliel (Strayed), and Dominique Pinon (Alien: Resurrection).

| 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!
