In 1919, Mathilde is 19 years old. Two years earlier, her fiancé Manech had gone to the front on the Somme. Like millions of others, he was "killed in action". It was written in black and white on the official notice. But Mathilde refuses to accept the obvious. If Manech had died, she would know for sure!
A very long engagement, is not only a powerful and moving story, but also a profound and rich visual universe. The settings, costumes and images are truly impressive, as well as the clever reconstruction of the first World War. Through Audrey Tautou's character, Jean-Pierre Jeunet highlights the role of women: wives, mothers or sisters, victims from the same war. Come and join us for this script-wise and visually interesting movie.
