There are many things that a person can take from this film other than the inspiration for a Travelocity commercial. From the very first shot of the film it’s clear that it’s not going to be just another film. Often labeled as artsy-fartsy, or pretentious, Amelie is one of the most original movies, especially considering that at it’s core it’s just a simple love story. Love stories are the... read more

I really do not understand what the whole fuss is about, regarding this film. It's a sappy story if there is one, it's certainly not the most beautiful film out there (yes, the photography is good [hence my 1 full star of 2 points]), but Audrey Tautou has *no personality whatsoever*. Her acting in every single film is the same, she has but two expressions to her face. As for this movie, its meani... read more

“There are many things that a person can take from this film other than the inspiration for a Travelocity commercial. From the very first shot of the film it’s clear that it’s not going to be just another film. Often labeled as artsy-fartsy, or pretentious, Amelie is one of the most original movies, especially considering that at it’s core it’s just a simple love story. Love stories are the oldest, and at this point maybe one of the most unwelcome, concepts in film. Amelie is different, however, by adding such an impressive amount of depth, and wit to it, you’ll forget that what the movie is really about; you won’t care either, you’ll just be enjoying it.

Something I wanted to take a moment to talk about, though, is the opening credits. Showing Amelie as a little gir” read more

Her acting in every single film is the same, she has but two expressions to her face. As for this movie, its meaning is lost on me. Jeunet's film City of Lost Children had more meaning, consistency and character than this film, which has zero value. (Amelie, or rather The Fabulous Destiny of Amelie Poulain as its original title was, is definitely not coming in my movie collection.) It was a waste of time, and all 8 of us watching this together when it came out on dvd actually voted to fast-forward the movie a” read more

a koala crapped a rainbow in my brain!

“A quirky, uplifting, sepia-toned story of a young woman's quest to spread happiness and, quite possibly, find her true love. It sounds sappy, and it is, but it's so darned inventive and full of joie de vivre that you can't help but love it. And it certainly doesn't hurt that there are no shortage of wide-angle lensed close-ups of the beautiful Audrey Tautou.

A great story, beautiful cinematography, fine acting, and a perfect soundtrack = 10/10. This is one to own.

And be sure to check out these other movies by this director, Jean-Pierre Jeunet: Delicatessen, City of Lost Children, and A Very Long Engagement (also starring Audrey Tautou).” read more
