Amélie – 25th Anniversary
The crispy crust of a crème brûlée, a hand sliding through a bag of cereal, a pebble skipping across the water. Amélie is an ode to life’s little pleasures that still enchants us 25 years later. Now back on the big screen.
Amélie Poulain works as a waitress in a café in the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris and enjoys people-watching while letting her imagination run wild. But then she discovers her ultimate purpose in life: solving other people’s problems. For example, she helps the building superintendent of her apartment complex, who drinks port all day while talking to her stuffed dog. She also helps Georgette, her hypochondriac coworker. And “the man of glass,” her neighbor who, confined to his home, lives his life through the Renoir reproductions he paints. Amélie’s mission is unexpectedly disrupted when she meets the eccentric boy Nino Quincampoix. Twenty-five years later, Amélie will enchant you all over again.
