still, in a nutshell, i think its a wonderful story, full of encounters, historic details, feelings and all !Really it was surprising and the actors astonished me (mostly french pple but Jodie Foster plays in it too ^^ ). From the aesthetic point of view, its stunning as always.
I was really happy i saw it and i always thought WWI was a rich backgrounds for great stories (like Paths of glory by Kubrik which was really good too)

PS : and if you havent seen Amelie, then you should cuz it was good too ^^;;

I am totally looking forward to this movie because:

1) I love all things French - the culture, the food, the films...

2) I am very intrigued by WWI history because my grandfather fought in it

and 3) It's got Audrey Tatou from Amelie! How can it miss?
