    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Whenever this film was shot on location, Jean-Pierre Jeunet and the crew would clean the area of debris, grime, trash and graffiti, so that the real settings would match the fantastic nature of the film. This was an especially difficult task when it came time to shoot at the huge train station.
    • Goofs
      When Nino visits Amélie in the cafe, "Menu du Jour" disappears and reappears on the glass between shots.
    • Quotes

      Hipolito, The Writer: Without you, today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's.

    • Crazy credits
      In the opening titles, Amélie as a child is shown doing various things. These activities illustrate the titles being shown at the same time.

    10/10
    This is rated so highly cause it deserves it
    A slice of heaven right here on earth, "Amelie" is a joy to behold, and has some of the most gorgeous cinematography I've ever seen in a movie.

    Audrey Tatou is perfection as the title character. A combination of Audrey Hepburn, Dolly Levi and Roger Rabbit, she involves herself in the world surrounding her as a means of really enjoying living. There are moments when she finds complete and total joy just walking down the street.

    Some of it is hilarious, too..like when her pet goldfish habitually tries to commit suicide, or when she is on the telephone with the man at the porno shop, or when a character is asked "Are you a congenital shmuck"?

    But for the most part, its a human comedy, about love, of course.

    Just beautiful. 10/10.
