Trivia:
During the film a Volkswagen "New Beetle" appears, although the car was not in production at the time Amelie should live (that would be August 1997 according to newspapers reporting the death of Princess Diana). Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet said he kept it as it fit perfectly with the mood of the film. more

What is left to say about this glorious joy ride?, 15 March 2002
10/10
Author: Brigid O Sullivan (wisewebwoman) from Toronto, Canada

I had heard superlative comments on this film and it does not disappoint.

Paris is the backdrop and what a Paris, A Paris of La Boheme and the Merry Widow. Audrey is brilliant in the role of Amelie, projecting a true joie de vivre.

The film is full of surprises in both plot and characters. I left the theatre feeling lighter. It is truly one of a kind, eccentric, unusual and uplifting. I will not say more on it as it would spoil the fun.

I gave it a 10 out of 10 for something so completely out of the ordinary and so very unhollywood.
