Filme: O Fabuloso Destino de Amelie Poulain // Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain -2001

"Amélie," directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, is a delectable confection of a film, a cheerful fairytale in which a charming heroine overcomes a terrible upbringing and grows up to bring happiness to the needy and joy to herself. You watch it, and then when you think about it later, you smile. Kindness is often regarded as one of those effete virtues that lack charisma and power. Nonetheless, it includes significant acts such as tiny demonstrations of affection and words of encouragement.

"Le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain" (2001) Dir. Jean-Pierre Jeunet

Audrey Tautou en “Amelie”, 2001

“Amelie has no boyfriend. She’s tried once or twice, but the results were a let down. Instead, she cultivates a taste for small pleasures: dipping her hand into sacks of grain, cracking creme brulee with a teaspoon, and skipping stones at St. Martin’s canal.” —Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Le Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain

Be honest, all you've ever really wanted is to be a twee yet solitary French girl with a predilection for skipping stones.
