About this product
Product Information
Am�lie Poulain (Audrey Tautou) is a young woman who glides through the streets of Paris as quietly as a mouse. With wide eyes and a tiny grin, she sees the world in a magical light, discovering minor miracles every day. A shy and reserved person whose favorite moments are spent alone skimming stones into the water, Am�lie was raised by a pair of eccentrics who falsely diagnosed her with a heart problem at the age of six and so limited her exposure to the outside world. Now a free and independent woman, Am�lie wears a bob that curls in every direction and dresses in red. With a job in a caf� and an aptitude for spying on her neighbors, Am�lie entertains herself by enacting a series of homemade, kindhearted practical jokes. She returns a long-forgotten box of childhood knickknacks to its proper owner, she sends her father's garden troll on a trip around the world, and she creates a love connection at the caf� between the hypochondriac druggist and a beer-drinking old grouch. But when the day is done, Am�lie finds one stone unturned, and decides to work her magic on the quirky object of her affections, Nino Quincampoix (Matthieu Kassovitz), whom she has never met.Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet (who codirected DELICATESSEN and THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN with Marc Caro) presents AM�LIE, an aesthetically gorgeous and inventive film. The rich, glowing color scheme is offset by flashbacks in black and white archival footage that give short biographies of each character. A soft-spoken narrator guides viewers through this enlightening fairy tale, which sometimes speeds through the streets and other times drifts in slow motion. AM�LIE is humorous, questioning, and strange, and it will change the lives of all who watch it, if only for a short while after leaving Am�lie's world.Product Identifiers

Awesome lightheated movie with a beautiful message.
This is a wonderful foriegn film with subtitles unless you speak french but no worries....you will be able to follow it and it will become one of your favorite movies. It does something that most movies fail to do. It has a beautiful message. It shows an act of kindness that makes this a feel good movie you will want to watch again. I originally rented it because I like foreign films with subtitles and the smiling Amelie looked so French with that smile it intrigued me to read the jacket. I really enjoyed watching it so much I decided to buy it because it made me feel good and plus it was very humorous to boot. If you watch only one foriegn film in your life...this should be it. There is a reason why it got 5 Academy award nominations and it definitely is well deserving. It is a masterpiece of light hearted entertainment. Awesome movie...We need more like this. :)Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Many Excellent Reviews. Read them.
There are some excellent reviews, well written, that I would encourage you to read! Even though I don't speak French, I followed the movie easily. However, since I don't speak French, I understand I missed many intended plays on words (mer, mere).Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Sweet and odd film!
Charming, quirky film about a lovely French girl - often called the French Audrey Hepburn. It takes many turns, all working out for the best. I always like films of that nature.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good
"Amelie" even crosses the software/hardware boundary and messes with component to HDMI converters. It's in 2.35:1 aspect ratio, which the component to HDMI converter had problems with.
