Comments on: A Very Long Engagement http://www.moviezeal.com/review-a-very-long-engagement/ The official podcast of MovieZeal.com, where film is always best discussed under the gentle influence of fine wine (as fine as $10 will get you). Each week Evan, Heather, and Luke pick a theme, discuss a theatrical release based on that theme, pop the cork and drink a wine that fits said theme, and finally subject one another to The Gauntlet, where forcing others to watch painful films nets you fabulous prizes. There is not anything else on the internets like it (literally).

I don't know of any other movement or body of films that has had any more impact on world cinema. To my mind, Jeunet was better when he collaborated with Marc Caro, who contributed a dark edge in <i>Delicatessen</i> and <i>City of Lost Children</i>, and counter-balanced Jeunet's tendency toward the sticky-sweet.

Did you know he directed <i>Alien: Resurrection</i>? Jeunet is the consummate visual filmmaker (Delicatessen, City of Lost Children, Amelie), but a weak storyteller.

Style over substance for sure. When I watched it, I had no idea Jodie Foster was in it. It completely took my out of the movie when I saw her.
