Editorial Comments

Description:
Nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Original Screenplay, this magical comedy earned overwhelming acclaim nationwide! A painfully shy waitress working at a tiny Paris cafe, Amélie makes a surprising discovery and sees her life drastically changed for the better! From then on, Amélie dedicates herself to helping others find happiness ... in the most delightfully unexpected way! But will she have the courage to do for herself what she has done for others?

Amazon.com:
Perhaps the most charming movie of all time, Amélie is certainly one of the top 10. The title character (the bashful and impish Audrey Tautou) is a single waitress who decides to help other lonely people fix their lives. Her widowed father yearns to travel but won't, so to inspire the old man she sends his garden gnome on a tour of the world; with whispered gossip, she brings together two cranky regulars at her café; she reverses the doorknobs and reprograms the speed dial of a grocer who's mean to his assistant. Gradually she realizes her own life needs fixing, and a chance meeting leads to her most elaborate stratagem of all. This is a deeply wonderful movie, an illuminating mix of magic and pragmatism. Fans of the director's previous films (Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children) will not be disappointed; newcomers will be delighted. --Bret Fetzer

5 out of 5 starsOne of the Best Movies ever made !!!
I am not going to give you a break-down of this movie, because it is described below countless times.
You have to see this movie if you haven't. It's magical, beautiful and well-crafted. From the director the movie "City of Lost Children".
It will make you smile quite often... If not, then you probably can't read subtitles or don't have an imagination.
I rate this movie up there with "Magnolia", "American Beauty" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".
You will want to see this more than once, so just buy the DVD.



5 out of 5 starsfun
this is a very whimsical and fun movie. It's just good stuff. It really got me into Yann Tiersen (composer for the movie) too, check out his stuff if you haven't!



4 out of 5 starsGood international movie
I was really happy with this movie. I showed it for an international movie night and the cinematography was different then what is seen in American movies and I really like that.



5 out of 5 starsWonderful
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. If you want a movie that will make you smile and leave insipred to make the world a better place, this is the one to watch.



5 out of 5 stars"An urge to help mankind comes over her."
This delightful French confection, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and co-written by Jeunet and Guillaume Laurant, is the story of Amélie Poulain, the product of a hilariously dysfunctional marriage. Her father is an obsessive-compulsive doctor and her mother is a nervous and twitchy schoolteacher. As a result, Amélie grows up isolated from her peers, and has a strong tendency to fantasize. When she finally leaves home, she takes a job as a waitress and settles in Montmarte, in northern Paris. There, she meets a host of eccentric characters whose lives become intertwined with hers in fascinating ways.

This film is original, irresistibly charming, beautifully photographed, and laugh-out-loud funny. Jeunet's cast is marvelous, and Audrey Tautou is perfect in the title role. Her waif-like, large-eyed stare takes in everything and everyone around her, but she always remains on the fringes of life. One evening, she finds a buried treasure that a little boy hid in her apartment forty years earlier. She suddenly makes a life-altering decision to help others anonymously. Amélie subsequently gets involved with an aged shut-in, a mean-spirited greengrocer, a lonely woman abandoned by her philandering husband, and a young man with an extremely strange hobby. She even tries her hand at bringing together an uproariously quirky couple.

Jeunet fills the screen with unexpected sight-gags that, along with the droll dialogue, amuse us as we shake our heads, wondering how the screenwriters came up with this unusual story. Yet for all its eccentricity, "Amélie" explores universal and timeless themes. The lonely and the misunderstood among us need and deserve our compassion; without love, a human being withers away; and in our harsh, dog-eat-dog world "times are hard for dreamers."
