Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet • 2001 • France, Germany
Starring Audrey Tautou, Mathieu Kassovitz, Rufus
The Gallic sensation that charmed the world, Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s irresistible cinematic soufflé introduces us to the unforgettable Amélie (Audrey Tautou in the role that made her an international star), a waitress in a Montmartre bar who observes people and lets her imagination roam free. One day, she suddenly finds her purpose in life: to solve other people’s problems. Amid a lovingly photographed fairy-tale Paris of vivid, saturated colors, we follow this most captivating of heroines as she engineers offbeat solutions to better the lives of her coworkers, relatives, and neighbors—until she meets a strange young man (Mathieu Kassovitz) who captures her interest and sets her on a mission to accomplish something for herself.
