Amelie Synopsis - Amelie is set in France and centres around Amélie, a shy cafe waitress. Amelie finds a small box hidden in her apartment and seeks to reunite the box and its contents to its rightful owner. When she sees the joy that the box has brought to the owner upon its return she decides to set out on a mission to make others happy by bringing some magic into their everyday lives. With her romantic daydreams there is also a real life suitor, but can she find love?

Review of Amelie - Amelie was quite rightly embraced by both critics and film goers alike. Although it has a certain feel good and also magical quality to it, it is in fact rather subtle which helps make this a truly beguiling film. Visually it is truly stunning as is Tautou's portrayal of the title character , which all in all helps make this into a truly splendid piece of original and inspired work.
The reasons I recommend Amelie are: 1. Visually stunning. 2. A tremendous portrayal of a charming character.
