DESCRIPTION
The City of Lights sparkles in this “delightful and original” Boston Globe quirky comedy that garnered 5 Academy Award® nominations. At a tiny Parisian café, the adorable yet painfully shy Amelie accidentally discovers a gift for helping others. Soon Amelie is spending her days as a Cupid, guardian angel and all-around do-gooder. But when she bumps into a handsome stranger, will she find the courage to become the star of her very own love story? Audrey Tatou The Da Vinci Code shines in this “lighthearted fantasy” Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times that stole the hearts of audiences and critics worldwide.
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
