A Very Long Engagement (Un Long Dimanche de Fiancailles)

Albany Twin
1115 Solano Avenue, Albany, CA, 94706

Writer/director Jean-Pierre Jeunet's (Amélie) love story takes place in France near the end of World War I. Based on the novel by Sébastien Japrisot, Jeunet depicts one young woman's (Audrey Tautou) relentless, moving and sometimes comic search for her fiancé, a French soldier who has disappeared after being court-martialed and pushed out of an allied trench into an almost certain death in no-man's-land. What follows is an investigation into the absurdity of war and the enduring tenacity of the human heart. Co-starring Jodie Foster, Gaspard Ulliel, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Dominique Pinon and Tchéky Karyo. (Fully subtitled)
