Trivia:
At the point where Mathilde is asked either by her uncle or her aunt about the fate of Manech, she responds that he might be held prisoner by the Germans, then he escaped and met a German woman with large breasts. This could either be a reference to La grande illusion (1937) or to La cuisine au beurre (1963). more

Anachronisms: As the five prisoners are being led through the trench in January 1917, they pass the wreckage of a German Fokker DR-1 Triplane. These aircraft did not enter service until September 1917, nine months after the events of this movie. more

Finally a really good film!, 2 December 2004
10/10
Author: On-Que (funky5terror@hotmail.com) from Vancouver, B.C

The best film I've seen in at least two years. I WAS TOTALLY PREPARED TO NOT LIKE THIS FILM. The title made me fear that my favorite director had created a chick flick. This movie is amazing, the story is set up quickly and suddenly your running along with this amazing tale that sucks you in and fills you with hope, reminds you that no matter what others may think it is up to you to never give up. I can't wait till it's in theaters so I can see it again, and I can't wait till it's on DVD so I can own it. Maybe supremely jaded people might not like this film, they'll hide behind expensive words to mask the fact that, in life, they gave up. And this move is a reminder that they didn't have to. You need to see this movie, your family and friends do too, heck bring the dog. I'm so glad it's not a chick flick, and I'm so glad that Jean-Pierre Jeunet's craft continues to escalate with each film he does. MM.
