Summary: Open your heart with Amelie
Review: This film is a great mixture of classical romance, machiavelism and visual poetry. A piece of art, full of humour and wealth.
I love the music too.

Summary: Paris Makes Amelie Fun and Visa Versa
Review: When adorable Amelie does her good work and mischief with Paris as her movie set, well, for heavens sake, how can this slightly nutsy film be anything but a hit with foriegn film enthusiasts? Actess Audrey Tautou is delightful as the effervescent Amelie, projecting an Audrey Hepburn radiance but with far fewer inhibitions. You really have to love Paris to keep up with the wierd plot. Nevertheless, sticking it out is worth the time spent becasue the ending brings all that comes before it into bright focus. This fun movie also helped me to brush up on my French language skills, even though, I cheated and used the English sub-titles offered on the DVD. This film probably would not have worked with just any city backdrop, but in Paris, almost anything is believable. Good characters, strange plot, but Amelie fixes it all for the good, making this interesting viewing.

Summary: Beautiful
Review: A beautiful story interwoven by a number of small lovely episodes that happened to a sales lady in France about her job, her roommate, her love and above all, the force of chance. Picture quality is very impressing and the analytical depiction of the characters very vivid. Great settings. Great fun to watch.

Summary: "Amelie": avoid it with someone you love
Review: America's relationship with France, never the hardiest, was dealt a decisive blow with France's refusal to give the big "thumbs-up" to our incursion into Iraq. Some feel the enmity thus engendered in U.S. hearts to be more than justified. "Bushwa," I say (mainly because it's fun); if there were indeed a reason to be angry with our snail-eating friends across the sea it would be, rather, the illegal and unjust "Amelie".It has been noted elsewhere that Audrey Tautou bears a striking physical resemblance to Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean, but personally I believe this comment to be "below the belt", and have no intention of dignifying its rancor by repeating it here. More germane: that the relentless symmetry of "Amelie"'s visual design (take note, budding film makers: nothin' screams "MY MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE!" quite as loudly as having the same things on both halves of the screen) and Tautou's endlessly coy grins, grimaces and pie-eyed glances into the camera (kootchie-kootchie!) turned my face as GREEN as most of the shots in this film, for reasons I have no way of divining, happen to be. As for the narration, mercilessly cloying in two languages, well!: it is the rare film indeed that would not benefit from the excision of same. Film is a medium consisting of both pictures- THAT MOVE!- and sound. There are many possibilities inherent in this combination. It would be good for film makers to exhaust them all before resorting, ever so reluctantly, to the hiring of someone to stand off-screen and tell us about things we are not being shown (or worse) to explain to us things we ARE being shown, or (also bad) to explain what the characters on-screen are thinking or feeling about what is happening, or not happening, to them, or whatever. C'est la vie (That Gallic charm is infectious). It is for now a technical impossibility to give a film a negative-star rating; one star will have to do. Some films, however, are indeed wholly without merit. Thank you.

Summary: Most beautiful movie I've ever seen...and I've seen plenty!
Review: From the very first words uttered until the closing credits, all your senses are on a heightened level of utmost cinematic ecstasy. The direction by Jean-Pierre Jeunet is the perfect balance of sound and color. From the very start you are immersed in the world of Amelie, a girl who realizes that there is more to life than what you and me consider important. Through her unconventional selfless acts she manages to better the lives of those around her...but does she have the courage to follow her dreams and better her own life?

Summary: it changed my life
Review: I live in Paris in Europe, and I've seen it under "Amélie Poulain". This is just one of the so most wonderfull movie ever. It really change my life, how amelie is able to pass you thru another world. She's just a normal girl who decided to change her life. She changes the life of other actors in the film but also spectators (means YOU). Also, for you americans, you will discover some parts of Paris that thru this film are now "celebrity". Specialy the café, which is really a typical of Paris "une brasserie". Enjoy this movie.
Je l'aime, et l'adore.
