Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain

★ Editor's Pick

Jean-Pierre Jeunet  ·  France / Germany  ·  2001

ComedyRomance 2000s

A shy Montmartre waitress with a vivid inner life decides to secretly improve the lives of those around her while falling for a stranger who collects discarded photo-booth pictures. Jeunet's exuberant, candy-coloured Paris became one of cinema's most beloved fabrications — and Audrey Tautou its perfectly impish muse.
