Has anyone see this film?It was a very long movie--2:16--but a very good movie, starring Audrey Tautou and Gaspard Ulliel. I saw Gaspard interviewed (using the word loosely) by Gary Coghill, and this interview piqued my interest in the film.
The scenes of WWI warfare, interspersed throughout the movie, were horrific, and had the kind of realism Spielberg portrayed in the Normandy landing at the first of Saving Private Ryan, though not as frenetic. (I am not intending to criticize either movie by the comparison).
This movie may bore some, but patience is rewarded.
all the best, townsend
