It's pretty obvious that I usually stick to old films; I hardly ever watch anything made after 1975. But for years I've been hearing so much about Amelie, and it seems to be a favorite among people who enjoy the same things I do... so I finally gave it a try last night. And....
I adore it! What a sweet movie! I can completely understand why everyone loves it so much! It's beautifully filmed and has so many quirky touches (the traveling gnome and the chalk arrows were two of my favorite parts) that I think it might be my favorite new film. Not new favorite film, favorite post-1975 film. I love how the movie focuses on strange personality ticks that you know all of us have but we don't really talk about... like the joy that comes with emptying out your purse, reorganizing everything and putting it back inside.

aww girl, there are so many great "new" foreign films!
love the film, I like the part about the guy collecting photobooth discarded photos of the same man only to find out he fixes the photoboth plus the talking lamps and photos that talks, everything's great about the movie
I've never finished this, I probably should!
i love amelie :) it's such a sweet and rather imaginative film.
I have to admit I haven't seen Amelie. I have always meant to, I just never have gotten around to it!
My sisters completely adore this movie! They have ever since it first came out!
GNOME!!?!? OMG WHAT?! I think I need to make a blog for gnome appearances! ;-D
Yay! I'm so glad you liked it! I do love this movie a great deal. It's so beautiful and whimsical and I always feel happy at the end.
