The trailer is amazing, and I can't for the life of me find the trailer.

BUT, I had been hearing about this, and the trailer made me feel warm and tingly. It's Jean-Pierre Jeunet's next film, a sort of romantic fairy-tale set in WW1.

It's based on a book, and it's obvious that the story is much stronger because of it. Jeunet has a tendency to be too sweet and superficial with his movies, and the story being as deep and serious as it is, the trailer shows what Jeunet brought to the film: a fantasy framework to not have the story be so over/melodramatic as war movies tend to get.

The movie is huge, and it seems that this is going to be Jeunet's graduation into serious, complete films. All his films up to this point just to be him trying to find his voice, his way. It's either him messing around with special effects and cameras, or using the same devices that have been used before. In this movie it looks like he really pushd himself to achieve something more. Hopefully he has.


here's the site with some goodies:

Except for this one part in the middle which is just "sitting down and read letters" , and the very dull color palette that should have had some more variety as to not have the color stick out so much this movie was AWESOME.

It had a farting dog, a assasin prostitute, Jodie Foster getting seriously ****ed by this one dude, a flashy mailman, and some insane *** battle sequences of WW1 trench warfare.

Oh, and a guy with a mechanial wooden hand.

And it's a LOVE STORY! a really sweet one.
