Anecdotes:

Marque de fabrique du metteur en scène: [Jean-Pierre Jeunet] [actor]Dominique Pinon.

Goofs:

Erreurs factuelles: Although Mathilde herself in narration, and her aunt in the story, say the musical instrument Mathilde plays is the tuba (in French), yet any euphonium player can easily recognize the musical instrument shown as a euphonium by seeing its clear images and listening to its sound, which is a little different yet crucial from those of tuba. This mistake might be deliberately made, for a real tuba might be so big for Mathilde that the view could not be taken appropriately.

Guillemet:

Manech: Manech loves Mathilde, Mathilde loves Manech.

Best movie this year

I had the pleasure of seeing this movie on a special preview last night and I was enthralled at its story line and cinematic experience. I wasn't a great fan of Amelie and hence was not expecting any particular out-of-body experience in viewing this. But I was wrong. It is a wonderful piece of story telling – somewhat difficult to follow if you do have a short memory span for character names – and flashbacks. Yet at the end, it seamlessly closes the web in a beautifully written script that has been well acted and filmed. It is particularly gory in the WWI battle scenes but probably accurate in depiction whilst the locations where the film was shot seem out of this world (hoped they were not computer generated). Quaint towns, fields, beaches and houses lend a beautiful touch to the story of a love that will not die whilst Audrey Tautou delivers a spellbinding performance in a child-like heroine with a will of steel. A special mention must be given to Bruno Delbonnel's camera work which simply is amazing. Can't wait for the DVD.
