official description

An international sensation on its release, French visionary Jean-Pierre Jeunet's sumptuous Amélie launched Audrey Tautou to stardom as the winsome young heroine whose rich fantasy life renders Paris a playground of the imagination. While working as a waitress in a Montmartre café and cheerfully spurning relationships after a few unsuccessful ventures, Amélie's chance discovery and return of a neighbour's long-lost childhood treasure convinces her to devote her life to helping others in lieu of finding romance for herself—until an odd young man who swipes discarded pictures from photo booths (Mathieu Kassovitz) catches her eye. Ceaselessly inventive and gleefully eccentric, Amélie is an infectious delight.
