To all the introvert hearts of the world, this is love letter to you. An artistic homage of sight and sound.
Amélie is a romantic comedy following Amélie, a joyous and imaginative Parisian, who's committed to spread happiness into the lives of everyone around her while pursuing true love.
This is a tale about a girl who's dreamy, mischievous nature and innocence transcend her into a life of love and abundance.
Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet creates a vibrant world of romance and adventure. His unconventional style carries you into the narrative so winsomely that you become its main character.
This is a dazzling achievement of visual storytelling. The cinematography, use of color, and production design are each narrating the story from a different angle. Inviting, nostalgic, and fresh.
The original music by genius French composer Yann Tiersen takes you to a different dimension of magic, the use of the accordion with the piano added a sensational texture, joyful and energetic at times and melancholic at others. The tunes of this motion picture are the kind that you keep going back to.
