A Very Long Engagement

After talking about it in that other thread, I bought a used copy and watched it last night.

Being by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, it has a similar style to Amelie, but the tone is completely different. Instead of a lighthearted romantic film, it takes on the a more somber mood as Audrey Tautou's character struggles to find if her fiance is still alive after being sentenced to death for self-mutilation during WWI.

Good film. I recommend it.

Amelie is a beautiful film.

Great story, fun and moving. Visually it is perhaps the best film I've ever seen, so much time and thought put into the style.

Is it good enough to purchase, or does it not hold repeat viewing merit?

I've seen Amelie many times. It's $14 at Best Buy.

Ive seen it every time i browse the movies.  Movies ar so boring that i might need to turn to foreign films.   I might start there.

Jeunet is incapable of making a visually boring film.  Even Alien: Resurrection looked good.

Amelie is one of my kids' favorite films.  We watch it in French, and even my daughter loves it.  She can't read all the subtitles yet, but she can catch the gist of the film anyway.  Definitely buy it.
