From the director of Delicatessen (1991) comes a pure gem of a film. Amelie who grew up in a slightly eccentric and dysfunctional family, lives in a world of dreams and memories. Working in a Parisian café, she is looking for love and a meaning to life in general. Then she finds a little box full of someone’s personal treasures. She decides to return it to its owner and so begins her mission to help those around her and to find the love denied to her as a child. An enchanting, heart-warming fable, Amelie reaches out beyond the film to touch the hearts of the audience.
In French with English subtitles.
