Movie

Watched A Very Long Engagement last nite. It is a French film starring Audrey Tattou and a fine European cast, as well as the extremely good Jodie Foster. Wonderful story; a girl searches for her missing fiance in the aftermath of WWI. Tells like a detective story, with plot twists and turns, but at its core is a young girl determined to find out what has happened to her love. It is quite hauntingly good; I watched the ending three times (I do love the DVD format), and those last lines -- "et le regard, et le regard, et le regard" -- are still with me today. Highly recommend it.
