Review of Amélie

Amélie (2001)
haunting and happy
20 January 2003
This is a film that is, to me, being American, very French - and that's a good thing. The entire film is happily haunting - while I was watching I was thinking it was cute, frothy, beautifully photographed, but light and airy - it was not a serious, frowning drama...... *but*.... it is a work of art on many levels, not only the wonderful acting, colors, music.....but it pops up in my mind when I am not expecting it and brings a smile, a memory and a sense of connectedness that I find refreshing. I highly recommend this film. Do not hear it dubbed, the music of the language is wonderful, and the subtitles are not a distraction.
