Even Artichokes Have Hearts
Amelie (2001), aka Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain, is my favorite romantic film. It is full of positive feeling and energy, of winning joie de vivre, though all the contemporary Parisian characters in it, one way or the other, are unbalanced, thrown off by their own or others'...

A Beautiful, Whimsical French Masterpiece: Amelie!
I don't even know where to begin on this, quirky French film. It is one of the few films I know that succeeds at having whimsical, artistic imagery and is also emotionally resonant. The characters are quirky and interesting, while still being relatable. You will laugh, and maybe even cry, as... Read full review »
Le Fabuleux Destin d' AMELIE Poulain
I have to say this is my new favorite film. It's quirky and cute. It has an interesting take on life. Moreover, it's about sometimes taking chances in life, which we all can learn from, and how we're on a collision course. It reminded me a bit of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and a bit...

Amelie [VHS]
Perhaps the most charming movie of all time, Amélie is certainly one of the top 10. The title character (the bashful and impish Audrey Tautou) is a single waitress who decides to help other lonely people fix their lives. Her widowed father yearns to travel but won't, so to inspire the old man she sends his garden gnome on a tour of the world; with whispered gossip, she brings together two cranky regulars at her café; she reverses the doorknobs and reprograms the speed dial of a grocer who's mean to his assistant. Gradually she realizes her own life needs fixing, and a chance meeting leads to her most elaborate stratagem of all. This is a deeply wonderful movie, an illuminating mix of magic and pragmatism. Fans of the director's previous films (Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children) will not be disappointed; newcomers will be delighted. --Bret Fetzer
