7:30 PM | AMÉLIE

2001 | Romance/Comedy | 2h 9m | M

"Amélie" is a fanciful comedy about a young woman who discretely orchestrates the lives of the people around her, creating a world exclusively of her own making. Shot in over 80 Parisian locations, acclaimed director Jean-Pierre Jeunet invokes his incomparable visionary style to capture the exquisite charm and mystery of modern-day Paris through the eyes of a beautiful ingenue. 

Amelie (Audrey Tautou) had a decidedly unusual childhood; misdiagnosed with an unusual heart condition, Amelie didn't attend school with other children, but spent most of her time in her room, where she developed a keen imagination and an active fantasy life.  Tautou is brilliant as a wide-eyed, gamine, reminiscent of a young Audrey Hepburn or Leslie Caron.
