Amelie

Amélie es indudablemente una de las películas más encantadoras de todos los tiempos, que tiene un efecto beneficioso en el organismo y el estado de ánimo del espectador. Como amante de Francia, debo insistir en ver esta película exclusivamente en francés con subtítulos o sin ellos. Vi una versión doblada por un momento y la magia desaparece notablemente, a pesar de que el doblaje checo en general está a un alto nivel. Recuerdo como si fuera hoy, vi la película en la escuela secundaria después de un día bastante exigente en la escuela. El cine estaba lleno en su mayoría de caras conocidas de la escuela secundaria. Hasta el día de hoy recuerdo ese buen estado de ánimo, esa energía positiva que sentí después de la proyección. Si bien tuve mi primera pelea con la chica de la que estaba enamorado, no afectó mi estado de ánimo general. Y estoy totalmente de acuerdo con la afirmación de mi profesor de la época de que esta película debería ser proyectada obligatoriamente en las escuelas. Es un verdadero bálsamo para el alma. Sin embargo, no puedo evitar hacer un comentario un poco venenoso sobre los distribuidores checos. Tengo la sensación de que cualquier película con Audrey luego fue distribuida en Chequia, aunque fuera de baja calidad, y otras películas francesas de alta calidad fueron ignoradas porque "Amélie" no estaba en ellas. Ben, c'est la vie. (10.04.2014)

Amelie can be considered the commercial and artistic pinnacle of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's work. The film was enjoyed by practically everyone except for French critics, who criticized the excessive idealization of present-day Paris in the film. Jeunet himself admitted that Montmartre, as he filmed it, doesn't actually exist anymore, but in his movie, it's not about realism but about poetic exaggeration, playfulness, and imagination. It's a very positive spectacle, an unconventional romance, full of clever scenes, funny situations, and the charm of Audrey Tautou, who built a decent career on the back of this comedy. Overall impression: 95%. (24.04.2009)

The rumors and thousands of rave reviews didn't lie: Amelie is amazing. This endearingly poetic film has a kind of irresistible charm, thanks to which it combines several genres, looks both kitschy and original at the same time, the actors playing bizarre characters suddenly become ordinary people living ordinary lives in an ordinary Parisian neighborhood... In short, it is an extraordinarily ordinary film, bursting with color and optimism, and with great music. (21.10.2011)

Miss Amelie and her fairytale, loving, a little sad and humanly warm world enchanted me at first glance. What makes this film special? Definitely the story and the general tuning. It's harmony dyed into a clear and intoxicating cinematic fluid that can warm the soul better than a gulp of rum. The acting performances, especially the title role by Audrey Tautou, who managed to play an extremely difficult role with complete persuasion. The cute supporting characters who are overflowing with life without necessarily having to get too much time on screen. Jeunet made a film with naïve childhood love, a naively uncritical view of reality. And it's not fake, it's not even overly sweet - it's miraculously soothing. Amelie is a small island of peace and love in an overall bleak world and cinema. Amelie is the gentle girl caress I need from time to time. (17.03.2004)

What I like most about Amélie and this film about her is that she notices the little things. She lives in her own happy and colorful world. Amélie is definitely different from the other girls... but sometimes I wondered if the effort to be different was too much. Audrey Tautou was definitely the best choice. I don't know many actresses who look that interesting yet fresh. I rarely give a French film 4 or 5 stars, and unfortunately I won't do so now. Still, something nice stayed with me. (03.08.2011)
