Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Comedy / Fantasy, Girl-centric, Romance
Feat. Audrey Tautou, Mathieu Kassovitz
Aroview: A charming romantic comedy stamped with the purely cinematic style of dir. Jean-Pierre Juenet, who here remixes intricate set pieces, editing wizardry, swanky-kitsch production design and droll humour to the max.
Audrey Tautou (think Audrey Hepburn meets Olive Oil) plays the ultra-sweet bobbed brunette who’s dedicated herself to solving other people’s problems, but finds her own romantic distraction while on the cupid trail. Safely recommended for those that prefer bubbly over a gutsy red, it’s a giddy visual confection in the mould of MOULIN ROUGE that has enjoyed a similarly fervent following.

4 stars (Very Good) So much fun. Impossible to not enjoy this film. Manages to be silly without you particularly realising it. ~Toothpickdog

5 stars (Exceptional) This whole film is a little wooden box filled with beautiful and quirky trinkets. ~Catapillar
3 stars (Good Enough) Sweet & naive Amelie lives in her own little magical world, taking pleasure in the simple things in life. While devoted to assisting in other people's destiny, she discovers her own quest for true love. Quirky French cinema that appeals to the masses. ~GenXGirl
