Amelie (Audrey Tatou), the heroine of Jean-Pierre Jeunet?s award-winning whimsical romance, is no ordinary young woman. A waitress in a Montmartre, Paris bar, Amelie observes people and lets her imagination roam free. One day, she suddenly finds her purpose in life: to solve other people?s problems. We follow her around a lovingly and vividly photographed Paris of saturated colors, as she engineers offbeat solutions to better her deserving co-workers, relatives and neighbors? lives?Among them the concierge who spends her day sipping port while communing with a stuffed dog; Georgette, the hypochondriac newsdealer; and the ?glass man?, who lives vicariously through a Renoir reproduction. Amelie?s mission to help others is rudely interrupted when she meets a strange, off-beat young man, Nino Quincampoix (Mathieu Kassovitz), who captures her interest, and sets her on a mission to do accomplish something for herself?in the most charming and complicated way possible.
