Die fabelhafte Welt der Amelie

As a child, Amélie first lost her goldfish, then her mother and finally the love of her father. At the age of 22, she sets herself the goal of making other people happy. She secretly intervenes in the lives of her embittered caretaker, her hypochondriac colleague at work and her neighbour with the glass bones. And her own happiness? The key could be Nico, the strange young man who collects the passport photos left lying around photo booths.
Breaking open the crust of a crème brûlée with a spoon is a real treat for twenty-two-year-old Amélie Poulain, and watching her do it is at least as much of a pleasure. Just like hurrying through the streets of Montmartre with her, from delicatessen to delicatessen. Sticking your hand into a bag of fresh cereal at the vegetable stall round the corner. Licking candy floss in the amusement park. Jean-Pierre Jeunet's inexhaustibly imaginative film offers ample opportunity to indulge in such images and be enchanted - by Amélie and the magical screen presence of Audrey Tautou.
