Jeunet, Tatou Team for a Romantic 'Engagement'

By Bob Mondello

Published November 26, 2004 at 9:00 PM PST

The latest film from director Jean-Pierre Jeunet takes place in France at the end of World War I. A Very Long Engagement is the story of a young woman's search for a fiancee she doesn't believe is dead. Audrey Tatou, who played the lead in Jeunet's 2001 comedy hit Amelie, stars again. NPR's Bob Mondello has a review.
