Movie Review: Amelie (Jeunet)

This was a wonderful movie. I'm not sure I can accurately describe the story, since it follows lots of random events surrounding a young woman who had a secluded childhood. But the film is funny and happy and warm, and reminds you to enjoy the simple things that make life so enjoyable. It is also an extroadinarily nice film to look at, with good performances all around. It even pulls off the use of a narrator. This is a much brighter film, both in appearance and tone, than Delicatessen or The City of Lost Children, but it is just as enjoyable as those two wonderful films. I was with a group of 8 people, all of whom thought it was enjoyable. So go see it already.
