Le vent nous emportera (The Wind Will Carry Us)

In the process of organizing our DVDs I sometimes come across things that look like they'd be good, and Le vent nous emportera was one of them.  The movie didn't live up to the box, however.  Screaming with awards won & with a poetic, beautiful photo on the front we thought we were about to discover a new favorite director, but that was not to be. 

We both found the movie beautifully filmed, and it while the documentary-style filming & lack of score was interesting, the story, frankly, was not.  We liked the off-screen-ness of several of the surrounding characters, but E fell asleep several times watching it, and neither of us enjoyed it very much.
