One of the most popular French films of the past 25 years, Amelie is a delightfully whimsical confection from the ever-inventive Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Jeunet began his career in animation and his live action films (which include Delicatessen and A Very Long Engagement) have a similar degree of freedom of movement and surrealistic caprice. Audrey Tautou stars in the title role, as a young Parisienne who resolves to make the world (or at least, her corner of it) a happier place…
This film will also play as part of the Film Studies: Creating Colour series.

Also in This Series
The Fall (4K Restoration)
Shot over four years across 24 countries, cowritten by a six year old girl, and entirely self-financed by commercials director Tarsem, The Fall is such a mind- (and eye) boggling movie it's hard to believe it actually exists. Yet here it is!
Winter Kills
An inspired black comic adaptation of the ultimate conspiracy theory, based on a novel by Richard (Manchurian Candidate) Condon. It's a lunatic riff on the Kennedy assassination(s), with Jeff Bridges finding who really killed his brother, the President. Screening in 35mm print.
