Engagement

Bonne nuit Torian.

Just watched a very long engagement.

it's the latest addition to my list of favorites. it's love story saturated with drama. i just like the story... and french of course. and i think audrey tautou is beautiful.

the cinematography was quality i guess. i had this film classmate in one of my ge subjects and she said that a movie with a good cinematography is a movie that doesn't make the audience dizzy. so there's like camera techniques, color channel mixings, angular technicalities, etc. well i didn't feel dizzy with the movie so i think a very long engagement has good cinematography.

oh, and i think the scenes were interwoven based on a pattern of emphasize-then-subdue. first one scene is fit to monitor, then the scene next to it depicts another part of the story where the previous scene plays a detail role. cool...

melancholy. stretched over the span of a movie that was dead-long suspense from the beginning. felt good that cornflower turned out to be alive. a bit disheartening though that matti's persistence is awarded by amnesia. but it's a part of the beauty that's jeunetine...

le professeur de la francais dix said le realisateur de "a very long engagement" es le directeur de "amelie" aussi. ?? geez, my francais is bad.

a very long engagement is a masterpiece. im glad that i watched it first because sarsi told me that amelie (also a film by jean-pierre jeunet) is better. that way i wont get any disappointment...

thata. gonna write something worthwhile later.
