About the film
‘Amélie’ is a wonderful French film that captures the beauty of everyday life through the eyes of a shy young waitress in Montmartre. After discovering a hidden box of childhood treasures in her apartment, Amélie decides to secretly improve the lives of those around her with whimsical gestures. While weaving joy into the world around her, she struggles with her own loneliness, until a quirky love interest helps her discover courage and connection. Beyond its charming narrative, ‘Amélie’ has become a cultural benchmark, influencing design and cinema with the so-called vibrant “Amélie-aesthetic”. But most of all: ‘Amélie’ managed to provoke a sense of optimism in an era often dominated by darker narratives.
