| Amelie |
Dir. Jean-Pierre Jeunet France 2001
Amelie opens a rusty box of childhood treasures and in a flash has her
destiny revealed: pair the lonely, mesmerize the jaded, bid bon
voyage to the formerly housebound. In short, spread happiness
(although she's not above seeking revenge on an ill-tempered fruit vendor).
While aloft on a terrace our heroine muses about happiness
and wonders how many Parisians are having orgasms at that exact
in-stant (a dizzyingly explosive montage shows it to be 15).
As sex is not the answer to all of life's problems, Amelie
devises endlessly inventive stratagems of Rube Goldberg
complexity, yet finds realizing her own happiness to be
the most elusive solution of all.
Director Jeunet (Delicatessen, City of Lost Children)
opens his own bottomless box of cinematic wizardry and
hyper-kinetic camera work in this story of artists,
dreamers, misfits and loners. (subtitled; 122m)
