[ Tuesday, February 15, 2005 ]A very long neckStarbuck [21:15] Comments: 4 [] We went to see A Very Long Engagement at the cinema yesterday. Having read a few variable reviews I'd been a little hesitant about seeing it, but having loved Jean-Pierre Jeunet's previous films Delicatessen, City of Lost Children, Amelie, hell even (or especially) Alien Resurrection, I decided to take the fiance out to see it for Valentines Day. I'm so nice, me. And I'm so glad I did - I was utterly captivated and transfixed for every last of its 135 minutes. A beautiful, hyper-real dreamlike story of love and war. But don't just take my word for it, read Philip French's Observer review. He's better than me at this "writing" business. A film almost worth learning to fluently speak French for - every last scene was visually such a work of art, it seemed a shame to drag my eyeballs down to the subtitles at the bottom of the screen. Especially since I had to crane my head to a painful extent to peer over the pate of a gentleman of unusual height. Today I look like disgraced ex-BT mascot ET. With clothes on. 4 Comment(s):

It had some darkness to it, which was good to see, as he does darkness like the best of them. [ Click HERE for the VSX front-page... ] |
