Things I like, Things I hate...

Foutaises, 1989

Jean-Pierre Jeunet

His most famous work, of course, is Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain ( I just used the longer French title. I'm fancy like that). But he also made one of my favourite war movies, Un long dimanche de fiançailles , which I thought illustrated nicely the various ways war is a motherfucker. It's meaner than Amelie. Plus it has Jodie Foster, speaking French. One of my friends found it too long, but I told her to note the title. It's supposed to be.

This little film stars Dominque Pinon, he of the great clown face.
