Amélie
16 people recommended this item
Description
I have to join the legions of fans of this movie. Is it realistic? Probably not - and it's set in a Paris that probably never existed (modern day one, but more classic 'French').
Still, the creativity and sheer beauty of this movie is bound to make an impact. It tells the tale of Amélie Poulain (played wonderfully by Audrey Tautou), a shy waitress in Paris, who decides to help others with small, unidentifiable acts of kindness. A bit of a romance, as she must choose whether to help herself and be happy.
The entire film just bursts with creativity and beauty, and boast impressive and fitting cinematography. There are so many allegorical scenes and even laugh out loud bits. It will make your day a little happier yet may also make you cry at times.
The soundtrack is perfect, a wonderful and very French sound. It was composed by Yann Tiersen and adds enormously to the film. I recommend checking out his albums for somewhat alternative, often stunning, and always creative music.
