Un long dimanche de fiançailles or A Very Long Engagement @ 9.15

[samvara]

Directed by that genius Jean-Pierre Jeunet; this is a tale about a lovely young woman searching for her fiancée who has disappeared. He is one of five men who shot themselves in the hand to be relieved of the horror of the front line in WWI. They were court-martialed and sentenced to die; pushed out into the no-man's land between the French and German trenches.

It's charming, passionate, awful for us flinchers and utterly worth seeing.
