Amélie
classified 15Subtitled screening
Experience the magic of Amélie back on the big screen, as it celebrates its 25th anniversary.
23-year-old Amélie (Audrey Tatou) is lonely. After an isolating childhood, she moves to Paris and becomes a waitress at the Café des Deux Moulins, a bar restaurant filled with a colourful cast of diners and employees.
Amélie cultivates a penchant for small pleasures – eating red raspberries from her fingers, dipping her hand into sacks of grain, cracking a crème brûlée with a teaspoon, and skipping stones at Canal St. Martin. When a surprising discovery changes Amélie’s life from then on in, she devotes herself to helping others find happiness in delightful and unexpected ways - but will she ever find love herself?
Swathed in rich primary colours and evoking an intoxicatingly dreamy picture of Paris, Amélie is a real delight, just like its kooky leading character.
