About this product

Product Information

This World War I mystery finds limitless beauty in the nostalgia of loss. Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, whose whimsical AMELIE riveted audiences, A VERY LONG ENGAGEMENT also stars Audrey Tautou--the 21st century's Audrey Hepburn--in the stubbornly emotional role of a widow in denial. Here she is Mathilde, a waifish young woman with a pronounced limp from childhood polio. Living with her quirky aunt and uncle in a farmhouse by the sea, and waiting desperately for her fiance Manech (Gaspard Ulliel) to return from the war, she believes that if he were truly lost she would feel it in her heart. Thus, when the bad news arrives--Manech and five fellow soldiers were exiled to No Man's Land for shooting off their own fingers in hope of being discharged--Mathilde refuses to believe he is dead. Instead, she begins her own investigation into Manech's infantry, hiring a private detective and tracking down the wives and girlfriends of each of Manech's compatriots. Conducting countless interviews, Mathilde pieces together Manech's war stories--which are told in earthshaking flashbacks involving gruesome explosions, flying guts, and massive suffering. And yet, the all-in-this-together humanity of these awful scenes, and the heartfelt bravery with which Mathilde absorbs the details of each battle, is undeniably moving. Jodie Foster appears as Elodie, one of the widows, in a charismatic yet muted performance and with a flawless accent. However, the most intriguing of the widows is Tina Lombardi (Marion Cotillard), a thrilling dominatrix-assassin bent on avenging her lover. A timeless masterwork that raises the bar for breathtaking camerawork, vivid landscapes, and fantastical storytelling, A VERY LONG ENGAGEMENT is adapted from the novel by Sebastien Japriscot.

Movie - A Very Long Engagement
I am a World War One fanatic which led me to give the movie a try. I am glad I did! The movie's title is a great injustice because it gives the impression of a "chick flick" and although it involves a love story, it also provides action, the visual horrors of war, mystery, and the sense of the character's, as well as Veteran's and families losses. The main character's tenacity and unwavering quest to uncover the truth of her lover's death (in combat) leads to answers that the viewer, by movie's end, had expected would be an impossibility. As a collector of WW1 memorabilia, and researching these items I was impressed with the historical accuracy of everything in the movie. Guys, watch it with your girls; there will be plenty of tears at the end.I am a World War One fanatic which led me to give the movie a try. I am glad I did!

Jean-Pierre Jeunet films are Wonderful, he just knows CINEMA. Loved it.
Excellent. This is a long, strange, dark romance worth watching a couple of times. It is very FRENCH and how do I say it.... a movie buff's sort of film. You have to pay attention. A film goer develops a taste for Jean-Pierre Jeunet films, and this one certainly delivers. It has the sort of inter / inner weaving of a novel, it's touching and dark and brutal at times with a delicate love affair hanging in the balance. It isn't a film for everyone... but as a follower of Jeunet, I love all of his films... his cinematic prowess thrills me, and I simply find his films entertaining. If that's you... you'll love this film. If you're looking for Grease or Dirty Dancing... your best bet is to look else where on the movie shelf. I very much enjoyed this film. Blessings, Max Rainet. **If ... Excellent. This is a long, strange, dark romance worth watching a couple of times. It is very FRENCH and how do I say it.... a movie buff's sort of film.

C'est un film formidable!
"A Very Long Engagement" stars Audrey Tautou, one of my favorite actresses. In the film she portrays a young French woman who has been crippled by both a case of Polio at a young age and also by the disappearance of her fiance, Manech, who left to fight in the war and never returned home. In her quest to find him, she encounters many different characters, some of whom are absolutely hilarious and some of whose stories are truly heart-wrenching.

A Very Long Engagement
This film is excellent! While never having experienced Trench Warfare, the battle scenes, for me, were vivid recreations of passages found in Robert Graves novel, 'Good-Bye To All That'. The novel has earned the reputation of the best book of it's kind in describing actual conditions in France during WWI. This attention to historical detail, coupled with a beautiful love story, makes this film truly worth seeing.This film is excellent!
