Just bear in mind that director Jeunet always liked "it" a bit special.

I love Badalamenti's scores for "Blue Velvet" and "City of Lost Children." I have also heard good things about "Confort of Stragners."

As I said, looks like the best movie to come out in a very long time.

Yeah, Jeunet had heard Zimmer's music for Gladiator and wanted him to score A Very Long Engagement. And like I wrote, Zimmer wanted to score Jeunet's film but a scheduling conflict prevented this, and so the two plan to collaborate on a future project. I'm excited about that, and kinda wish Hans Zimmer had done A Very Long Engagement, but am also interested in what Badalamenti will come up with—I've found most of his music esoteric; all thing considered, the film looks very inspiring, so maybe he'll deliver some surprises.

The thing I don't like about the Western promotion of the film is that everyone here in Canada and the U.S. will probably only know Jeunet as the guy who directed Amélie, and not his other wonderful films, like City of Lost Children and Alien Ressurection (HAHAHA!).

It's in the vein of John Barry's more sweeping scores. Sometimes it even reminds me of Horner's quiter more beautiful moments. To sum it up, Badalamenti's score to Jeunet's A Very Long Engagement is a fantastic, romantic score, which will be in my player in the bedroom quite some times.
