Wandering further away from the cliff Vaitlin felt his own feelings were coming back in some way. The dark spots in his mind seemed to decline with every step he took. No longer was he controlled by this depressed thoughts that brought him up here. Still the wind was pulling at his clothes, as if to make one last effort to blow him to the edge of the cliff again. Headshaking, while taking step after step through the long green waving grass, Vaitlin pushed away a disturbing thought. ‘No, it isn’t possible. Why should the forces of nature even think of me? Am I that selfish, that I think nature is making me to leave this world.’ A deep and rumbling laugh came out of his mouth, laughing away the insanity of his own words. Turning around for one last time, to never think of this moment again Vaitlin fell to his knees. ‘No! No it’s not possible!’. But still the image of this lady dressed in white burned on his mind. ‘It’s only this cliff which depresses me, it can’t be Deluriel. She would never jump’.

Un long dimanche de fiancailles (A very long engagement)
Un long dimanche de fiancailles is a French movie, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, starring Audrey Tautou.
The story deals about five men who shoot themselves to get away from the Frontline at Somme during the First World War. The are being court-martialed and as a punishment they will be left for dead in no man's land. Mathilde (Audrey Tautou) is the fiancé of Manech, who is one of these five men, he is called Manech. She finds out maybe her husband is still alive. So a great investigation begins, it's almost like a detective in WW1. It's also a very beautiful love story about two young people who only live for eachother.
I think this movie is very, very good! Audrey Tautou plays very strong and convincing. The story gets you immediately, though the plot can be a little difficult to understand sometimes.
The colour of this movie is brilliant, with often yellow-brown filmshots which fits perfectly to this film.
