From the director and star of "Amelie" (Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Audrey Tautou) comes a very different love story, "A Very Long Engagement," based on the acclaimed novel by Sebastien Japrisot. The film is set in France near the end of World War I in the deadly trenches of the Somme, in the gilded Parisian halls of power, and in the modest home of an indomitable provincial girl. It tells the story of this young woman's relentless, moving and sometimes comic search for her fiancée, who has disappeared. He is one of five French soldiers believed to have been court-martialed under mysterious circumstances and pushed out of an allied trench into an almost-certain death in no-man's land. What follows is an investigation into the arbitrary nature of secrecy, the absurdity of war, and the enduring passion, intuition and tenacity of the human heart.
Starring: Audrey Tautou, Gaspard Ulliel, Jodie Foster
In 1914, "The Great War" - WWI - began in Europe. America chose at first not to fight, but some altruistic young Americans disagreed. A handful of volunteers decided to learn how to fly. The first of them - a squadron of only 38 - became known as the Lafayette Escadrille. In time, America joined their cause. The Escadrille pilots became legendary. Flyboys is inspired by their story.
Blaine Rawlings (James Franco) along with the other young Americans arrives in France, unable to speak the language and challenged by learning to operate a device that was only invented 10 years prior to the war-the airplane. At this point in time, France has been in battle for three years and has lost millions of men in battle.
Blaine and his squadron are trained under the command of the French Captain Thenault (Jean Reno). He and the other French pilots put the boys under vigorous training to prepare them for aerial combat. What they didn't realize was that they were about to embark on a great, romantic adventure, becoming the world's first combat pilots.
But it is when Rawlings falls in love with a local French woman named Lucienne he learns firsthand the costs of war as it has affected her and her family. When Lucienne finds herself behind enemy lines, Rawlings risks everything to save her and her family. Fighting a war that wasn't theirs, these young, na?ve adventure-seekers slowly learn the true meaning of love, brotherhood, heroism, courage, tolerance and, in return, gain a true reason to risk their lives.
