On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean will never stop looking for their missing loves. We watched the 2004 film from Jean-Pierre Jeunet, A Very Long Engagement.
I’ve got a question for you: given the circumstances in this movie, would you be a dear Mathilde, always on the lookout for her Mathieu, or would you be more like Tina Lombardi, on a righteous crusade to avenge her beloved Angel?
Frankly, it feels like a tough question. I don’t begrudge either of them for doing what they did. Indeed, not even Tina. War is shit, and it destroys the lives of everyone it touches. And this movie entertains all who watch it!
