Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, Le

Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, Le is definitely one of those which changed my perception of things in this world. The simple and petty things which seem to have nothing to do in our life are very useful to make one's life interesting. This is shown to the best effect by the director in this movie.

I can't describe why this movie moved me so much. This, being a comedy, having that effect is very strange. May be it is the subtleness of the movie. I recommend this very strongly for everyone. The "hidden treasure" sequence instantly struck the right chords and reminded me of my childhood. The wandering gnome was a great idea.

The cinematography for this movie is one of the best i have seen in years.

And a special mention is deserved for that beautiful naive smile of Audrey Tautou.
