One woman decides to change the world by changing the lives of the people she knows in this charming and romantic comic fantasy from director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Amelie (Audrey Tautou) is a young woman who had a decidedly unusual childhood; misdiagnosed with an unusual heart condition, Amelie didn't attend school with other children, but spent most of her time in her room, where she developed a keen imagination and an active fantasy life. Her mother Amandine (Lorella Cravotta) died in a freak accident when Amelie was eight, and her father Raphael (Rufus) had limited contact with her, since his presence seemed to throw her heart into high gear. Despite all this, Amelie has grown into a healthy and beautiful young woman who works in a cafe and has a whimsical, romantic nature. When Princess Diana dies in a car wreck in the summer of 1997, Amelie is reminded that life can be fleeting and she decides it's time for her to intervene in the lives of those around her, hoping to bring a bit of happiness to her neighbors and the regulars at the cafe. Amelie starts by bringing together two lonely people -- Georgette (Isabelle Nanty), a tobacconist with a severe case of hypochondria, and Joseph (Dominique Pinon), an especially ill-tempered customer. When Amelie finds a box of old toys in her apartment, she returns them to their former owner, Mr. Bretodeau (Maurice Benichou), sending him on a reverie of childhood. Amelie befriends Dufayel (Serge Merlin), an elderly artist living nearby whose bones are so brittle, thanks to a rare disease, that everything in his flat must be padded for his protection. And Amelie decides someone has to step into the life of Nino (Mathieu Kassovitz), a lonely adult video store clerk and part-time carnival spook-show ghost who collects pictures left behind at photo booths around Paris. Le Fabuleux Destin D'Amelie Poulain received unusually enthusiastic advance reviews prior to its French premiere in the spring of 2001, and was well received at a special free screening at that year's Cannes Film Festival.

The character, Amelie (Audrey Tautou), is from a loveless childhood, and may as well be invisible to all. She spends the entire movie going through life as if she were in a film, watching from the outside, having had an odd and painful childhood due to the very strange death of her mother.
The movie with its whimsical french humor leaves you wondering if she will ever find love as it provides clues to the outcome in subtle ways. In addition, she uses some extremely humorous tactics to revive her couch potato father's zest for life (involving a garden gnome).
It is a beautiful story, fit for for foreign film lovers and those who have never seen any. A knowledge of the french language does help in catching some sarcastic, offhanded comments made throughout the movie - but, if you don't speak, you are not going to miss that much.
To say anymore would take away the joy of watching this incredible film. It is among the best films (foreign or domestic) I have seen. I would recommend it for everyone.
