Additional InformationAmelie 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, Amelie 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, Amelie wears a bob that curls in every direction and dresses in red. With a job in a cafe and an aptitude for spying on her neighbors, Amelie 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 cafe between the hypochondriac druggist and a beer-drinking grouch. But when the day is done, Amelie 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.<BR>Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet (who codirected DELICATESSEN and THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN with Marc Caro) presents AMELIE, 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. AMELIE is humorous, questioning, and strange, and it will change the lives of all who watch it, if only for a short while after leaving Amelie's world.

  • Entertained - definitely. Brilliant.

    Typically French, funny, quirky, bit naughty and romantic. If you liked Chocolat you'll like this film. Great cinema photography and use of colour and the scenery around Paris was spectacular. Lead was perfect for the roll and characters were a perfect cross section of this fantasy community. I loved it.

  • Delight on disc

    I can't praise this imaginative film enough, and although you spend half your time reading the subtitles (the film is all in French) it doesn't matter, it's well worth the effort. It's a simple story of girl meets boy but it's filmed with such flare, imagination and panache that you find yourself smiling at every twist and turn. Excellent character's faces conflict and contrast with Amelie's childish beauty, and we watch her plans unfold as her imagination leads the way.
