    Storyline

    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.

    What is left to say about this glorious joy ride?
    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.
