Agreed. A Very Long Engagementdidn't quite know whether it was happy treading Amelie like whimsy or be a serious drama.



It may be have been sold as yet another Football hooligan film but this is more of a period piece circa Liverpool 1979 with the fashion and music at the forefront. Great soundtrack and not full of your usual tracks you would expect from the time period. I didn't even realise that the first couple of Ultravox albums were at the commercial end of Post Punk and not the new wave pop of their most famous tune 'Vienna'.
