ABOUT THE FILM

"23-year-old Amélie is lonely. After an isolating childhood, she moves to Paris and becomes a waitress at the Café des Deux Moulins, a bar restaurant filled with a colourful cast of diners and employees.

Amélie cultivates a penchant for small pleasures – eating red raspberries from her fingers, dipping her hand into sacks of grain, cracking a crème brûlée with a teaspoon, and skipping stones at Canal St. Martin. When a surprising discovery changes Amélie’s life from then on in, she devotes herself to helping others find happiness in delightful and unexpected ways - but will she ever find love herself?

Swathed in rich primary colours and evoking an intoxicatingly dreamy picture of Paris, Amélie is a real delight, just like its kooky leading character."
— Watershed summary

" ... wildly amusing, sometimes sardonic and always touching. There's so much here, and all of it delightful."
★★★★★ Desson Thomson, Washington Post

"It is so hard to make a nimble, charming comedy. So hard to get the tone right and find actors who embody charm instead of impersonating it. It takes so much confidence to dance on the tightrope of whimsy. Amelie takes those chances, and gets away with them."
★★★★ Roger Ebert, RogerEbert .com
