Directors French Movies Tournament (1 Viewer)

[Adam_S]

Crime of Monsieur Lange

 

[Bill McA]

Engagement and Vagabond are two completely different films.

Engagement is nowhere as near as serious or as relevant as Vagabond, in fact it's kind of a piffle...but good piffle. Better and nowhere near as annoying as Amelie.

 

[SteveGon]

Abstain on both - no TCOMS or AVLE (though I just ordered the R2 DVD).

Our first tie results in a coin toss victory for Pepe le Moko, which advances along with A Very Long Engagment.
