In the bustling, hyper-saturated streets of Montmartre, shy and eccentric waitress Amélie Poulain discovers a hidden tin box of childhood treasures in her apartment. When she successfully returns it to its rightful owner, she embarks on a whimsical, clandestine crusade to orchestrate small moments of joy and justice in the lives of the colorful Parisian misfits around her. But as she plays guardian angel to others, Amélie must find the courage to pursue her own elusive romance.
A globe-conquering cultural phenomenon, Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s magical realist romance remains one of the most beloved French films ever made. Powered by Audrey Tautou’s star-making performance and Yann Tiersen’s iconic accordion-laced score, Amélie is a visually intoxicating, unapologetically joyful cinematic confection that will leave you floating out of the theater.
