Jean-Pierre Jeunet: Un long Dimanche de fiançailles
Question: Examinez les méthodes adoptées par Mathilde et Tina à la recherche de la vérité ou de la revanche.
A* Exam Reponse.
This essay examines the antithetical methods adopted by Mathilde Donnay and Tina Lombardi in their quests to uncover the truth and to enact revenge, respectively. This essay argues that Tina’s adopted methods were far riskier than those adopted by Mathilde. Indeed, while Mathilde chooses to spend her inheritance and employ the services of a private detective, Tina chooses to kill the men responsible for Ange’s death. Ultimately, however, this essay makes the point that, though their methods differed greatly, both women were able to achieve success within their quests in this 2004 film.
