Amélie

Is it too sweet? Perhaps. Is it too twee? Peut-être. But those who find Jean-Pierre Jeunet's movie too schmaltzy should remember what Amélie is sentimental about. Love, loneliness, family - these are things worth getting sentimental about. And for those who question its charm, look once more into Audrey Tautou's doe eyes and be charmed all over again. There are lots of good ideas in cinema. Amélie is just one of them.
