Amelie

Thus film is sweet, charming, upbeat, romantic, definitely unique, and filled with scenes of Paris -- What's not to like? The cinematography is unusual, with many extreme close-up with wide angle lenses, and with what looks like some artificially altered lighting colors. But the light is part of the mood. I had seen it once when it came out, and had forgotten most of the details. When I saw it again on (via my Roku) this week, I was completely charmed. Great movie!

A film about the anomie and search for meaning and happiness in a modern urban setting. Many excellent character studies by supporting cast and the tale of Amelie at it's core. Audrey Tautou is remarkable and possessor of probably the most mischievous grin in captivity. Great Parisian locations and a plot that moves along nicely. I chose Blu-ray version for better picture detail and durability because I will probably watch this film many times. There is more to this film than just the humor but even on that level alone it is exceptional.

Yes . . . there is a moral of story in Amelie. Loved the way the Director introduced the characters, as well as objects. Any-who-or-what's-it, back to the moral of the story: There's no question that patience if a virtue; however, don't wait too long 'cause sometime the moment will pass you by. Highly recommend it for any level of entertainment. I'll nicely stow this movie in one of my top ten story tellers' sojournies . . . ranks right-up there with Silver Linings Playbook, When Hairy met Sally and Sleepless in Seatle, but with better FX.

wonderful product. one of my absolute favorite movies and i recommend it to everyone. make sure you are fluent in french if you buy this version. more importantly, make sure you have a special dvd player that can play foreign dvds. if you don't, you can change the region on your computer. some computers only let you change the region a limited number of times, but i think you can purchase software that overcomes this. but again, see this movie. it will change your life!

As someone who rarely watches a movie twice and buys them even less often, i saw this movie twice in the theater and will be buying the dvd. The movie is fast paced and has a wonderful assortment of sub-plots, and is just so crammed full you have to watch it more than once to absorb it all. I do not get everyones referance to ally mcbeal- seems like comparing an exquisite french delight to hostess ho-ho's. This is an extrodinary film - i will be sending the dvd out to my friends and family for birthdays and Christmas presents. It's hard to pick a favorite scene as there are SO many but, without blowing it for you, its the one with Amelie and the blindman. I cant wait to see the dvd version with the extra scenes, screen tests etc.

This is a magical French film full of quirkiness and surprises. Audrey Tautou is perfect as the clever, mischevious puppeteer who lovingly meddles in the lives of those around her. The setting (Paris) is so beautiful and the camera work and directing are so interesting. Amalie is so pretty and lovable I could not take my eyes off her. Be warned-if you are not mature enough to tolerate subtitle while listening to the beautiful French language, don't bother watching.

I first saw this movie when it was released back in 2001 and always remembered how much I enjoyed it then. I enjoyed it just as much the second time around. I love the quirky surreal imagery of the film and it really is a funny, feel good movie. Audrey Tautou is wonderful and adorable in this film.

Amelie is one of my favorite movies! It is about life, love, attitude and going out of one's self to make a happier life for others. Audrey Tautou is perfect as Amelie... besides being adorable, her facial expressions do much to add to the feel of her character and the comical quirkiness of the movie. It is a celebration of mysteries and little miracles within the magical essence of Paris, with scenes of extremely unique and charming cinematography.I also very much enjoyed watching the additional disc with Audrey's screen test and cast interviews.

I can't believe it took me 19 years to find this gem, without doubt one of the best things that has happened to me in 2020. I have watched the movie over 10 times, just love going back, skip to certain scenes and smile. A must watch without a doubt.

Well, I would like to say that I am a frequent foreign film watcher, but that would be a lie. In fact, I am often heard to say "I just don't feel like "reading" a movie"...no matter HOW good it is supposed to be. Once I saw the theatrical trailer for this one though, I was hooked. Amelie sucks you in. It is hilarious, charming and just a wonderful feel-good movie. Amelie tries to fix everyone else's life which is fun to watch.... including sending her reclusive father's garden gnome on a world tour complete with pictures sent back home. It is hard to pin point one reason why this is such a good movie. If you are like me, and don't normally watch foreign films, do yourself a favor and watch this one. You will not be disappointed.
