Say WHAT? A Paris court has ruled that director Jean-Pierre Jeunet's A Very Long Engagement is really a Hollywood movie, and therefore not sufficiently French to qualify for public subsidies. The producer's response says it all: "This film, which tells a French story, adapted from a French novel, filmed entirely in France, in French, with the participation of more than 2,000 French people, over thirty French actors and actresses and about 500 French technicians for 18 months, is suddenly no longer considered a French film!"
