Nice, post – Tom W., I have to comment (sorry, OT) on ‘A very long engagement’.
A brilliant move. The war sequences, done in surrealistic style, are perfectly suited to the graveyard-humour remembrances of the characters.
And what a great ending…

The male romantic lead was caught by a shell blast and suffered total amnesia. He doesn’t remember anything of the war, and is as innocent and happy as the boy the heroine remembers!
Poignant and pitiful; comic but deadly serious. Man, I love French movies.
