DESCRIPTION
Quiet and reserved, Amelie Poulin spends her days as a waitress at a Paris cafe and entertains herself by playing kindhearted practical jokes on her neighbors, finding love in the meantime. Genre: Foreign Film - French Rating: R Release Date: 14-JAN-2003 Media Type: DVD
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
