Amelie is a masterpiece of a movie! I remember seeing it in the theatre with my wife and both of us being mesmerized. The music is unique and blends perfectly with the movie. The story is wonderfully writtend. And visually? Colorful (or lack of color), great camera angles and a few other camera techniques make it great to watch.
Yet, it won no Oscars. It was up for a few (Best Foriegn Language film, Cinematography, Sound, Art Direction and Writing) but came up empty. That is very surprising as I think about it now.
If you have not seen it, I highly recommend it. Or if you have seen it, another watch on DVD is a great way to spend a night on the couch. Enjoy the trailer!

As we all know, awards and Oscars garnered are not necessarily the meter that mattes. What does matter though is when someone writes “Amelie is a masterpiece of a movie!”, which it certainly is on many, many levels.
I have been recommended this movie on a few occasions. Now I’m glad I came to your site for more than one reason
No one can explain it and I’ve never seen a trailer. Now I’m going to go buy it
