"Paris: city of light, city for lovers swept up by the air of romance. It’s the perfect setting for Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s wonderful AMÉLIE, a film with a golden, glowing heart. This massive hit at the French box office is the very dictionary definition of ‘feel-good’ — its irresistible charms will dispel the heaviest clouds hanging over the head of the gloomiest misanthrope. Freed from the darker imagination of Marc Caro (with whom he collaborated on DELICATESSEN and THE CITY OF THE LOST CHILDREN) and the restraints Hollywood thrust upon him during ALIEN RESURRECTION, Jeunet has created one of the most joyous films of recent years. With its gallery of affectionately drawn grotesques and eccentrics, AMÉLIE is filled with sunshine." - Alan Morrison, Empire
