“Amélie is a delicious pastry of a movie.”—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times
Amélie (Audrey Tatou), the heroine of Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s award-winning whimsical romance, is no ordinary young woman. A waitress in a Montmartre, Paris bar, Amélie observes people and lets her imagination roam free.
One day, she suddenly finds her purpose in life: to solve other people’s problems. We follow her around a lovingly and vividly photographed Paris of saturated colors, as she engineers offbeat solutions to better her deserving co-workers, relatives and neighbors’ lives. Amélie’s mission to help others is rudely interrupted when she meets a strange, off-beat young man, Nino (Mathieu Kassovitz), who captures her interest and sets her on a mission to finally accomplish something for herself.
At the time of its release, it was nominated for five Oscars and sits at #41 on the New York Times list of 100 Best Films of the 21st Century. 2001, France, DCP, in French with English subtitles, 122 minutes. Rated R.
