I saw this in the theater at the time because I loved Amelie. Not as long ago, but when I wasn't as deep into this project as I am now, I gave Amelie a B-, the charm having faded. This probably was a B in the theater, especially with some of the dazzling shots, but it's a B- at home now. I definitely enjoyed it more than most war dramas of course. But even the romance aspect doesn't really work for me, because the missing fiancé is such a cypher, even in flashbacks. Then and now, I most loved the "at home" scenes, with the cats, uncle, aunt, and postman.
