Certificate: 15A

Genre:

Bursting with imagination and having seen her share of tragedy and fantasy, Amelie is not like the other girls. When she grows up she becomes a waitress in a Montmartre bar run by a former dancer. Amelie enjoys simple pleasures until she discovers that her goal in life is to help others. To that end, she invents all sorts of tricks that allow her to intervene incognito into other people's lives, including an imbibing concierge and her hypochondriac neighbor. But Amelie's most difficult case turns out to be Nino Quicampoix, a lonely sex shop employee who collects photos abandoned at coin-operated photo booths.

    Amelie and Nino's love story bursts forth in a colorful fantasia. Their wild goose chase of romance soars as high as Bruno Delbonnel's absinthe-tinged camerawork. And their kiss makes for one of the Zeroes' most tender and quietly sensual.

    The sunniest face and the greatest acclaim belong to Audrey Tautou, who is new to these shores. A delight in the title role, she's like a young Audrey Hepburn, making us laugh and feel empathy without feeling manipulated.

    This is one of those classic movies that everyone should watch. It has so much appeal, it's charming and extremely funny. The character is so appealing and quirky. It's one of my all-time favourites. Don't be put off by the subtitles, it's really a must-see.

    A truly magical and uplifting movie that always makes me smile. Visually amazing with a great cast and a great musical score. One of the few films that gets as close to perfection as humanly possible.
