    Beautiful cinematography, at first I didn't really like the Amelie character but after a few more viewings she grew on me as well as the love story..

    "One person can change your life forever."

    Amelie, an innocent and naive girl in Paris, with her own sense of justice, decides to help those around her and along the way, discovers love.

    Possibly the most beautiful film in cinematic history; hats off to whomever the cinematographer was because Paris, despite all its beauty has never looked so magical.

    From beginning to end I was mesmerised by just how rich each and every colour was, how strategically placed every filter was and how apt each scene was in putting forth the colours that reflected the feelings being conveyed. Paris became more than just a backdrop, Paris became yet another protagonist for us to fall in love with, yet another protagonist who's narrative became beyond engaging and impossible to resist and yet another protagonist who's arc mattered. It truly is a showcase in all that is great (of what little there is) about the French; overtly indulgent, pompous to an almost unbearable degree but underneath all the bravado ridiculously charming at its inner most core. A stunning achievement in visual mastery.

    Juxtaposed with this is the insanely charming lead Audrey Tatou. So lost is she on finding fulfilment for others that she seemingly forgets about finding it for herself. The beauty of the performance and the writing is that whilst she never openly craves it, we, now living vicariously through this most lovable of characters, root for her to become emblazoned with the amorous feelings she so craves for those around her. The perfect example of how the primary protagonist of any feel-good film should be written and performed. Amelie could well claim to have created an archetype; the character that is actually impossible to dislike, but is still as multi-faceted as any character in cinema.

    An infinitely charming and infectious piece that manages to warm the very cockles of this most cold of hearts.

    It's impossible to make a film like this without a grand vision, and Jean-Pierre Jeunet channels his into an innovative and highly enjoyable film. Audrey Tautou creates such a lovable character, and the story is quirky, touching and thought-provoking without being schmaltzy. Grea...( read more)t fun to watch over and over, beautifully shot and well-paced, Amelie rightfully became an instant classic, and is film I should have seen long before now.

    Odd and very quirky comedy about a girl who sets out to help other people along the way in life, but still can't help herself. Has a lot of extremely funny parts but not for everybody especially people who have to listen to a foreign language and read subtitles at the same time.

    A funny and entertaining film. Quite odd, at first, but it got me hooked into the story with its quirky protagonist and elegant French setting. Good film, Mr. Jeunet.

    On a side note, I wish Audrey Tautou did more films like Amelie rather than drivel like The Da Vinci Code.

    A shy, imaginative young woman embarks to better the lives of all around her in this wildly visual and whimsical film.
