The beautiful, magical Amélie returns to cinemas, celebrating 25 years of pure cinematic spectacle; the film that broke the barrier between arthouse and mainstream.
This perfect film is ripe for discovery by younger audiences and indeed rediscovery by those of us that were there the first time in 2001.
23-year-old Amélie is lonely. After an isolating childhood, she moves to Paris and becomes a waitress at the Café des Deux Moulins. One night, she happens across a box of treasures hidden in her apartment, left by a little boy in the fifties, that changes the course of her life.
While completing her good deeds, Amélie crosses paths with Nino, a photobooth collagist who shares her oddball sensibilities. She quickly falls in love with him as we all fall in love with her. Don’t miss the chance to see this on the big screen.
