This has to be one of the best foreign films ever! With brilliant acting by Audrey Tautou as Amelie Poulain, and Mathieu Kassovitz as Nico Quincampois (the love interest), this film soars. Audrey Tautou plays Amelie with dignity, and Amelie's eccentricities do not detach the audience from her, rather they endear the audience to her.
The script is intelligent, witty and engaging. I found that the audience were taken up by both character and situation: this is a film about love, about self-discovery, about life.
Like the title, it's fabulous! The film does not fall into cheap clichés; it maintains a humour throughout. It's a superb slice of life, and Amelie (the character) is so well-meaning, so scatterbrained, so ... well, human, it's a treat! Well deserving of its place in the top 250!
