Cinema : Le Fabuleux Destin D'Amelie Poulain (FR)

Director: Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Year: 2001
Starring: Audrey Tautou, Mathieu Kassovitz, Rufus, Yolande Moreau, Artus de Penguern, Urbain Cancelier, Dominique Pinon, Maurice Bénichou, Claude Perron
Genre: Drame/Comedy/Romance

Synopsis :
Amelie is looking for love, and perhaps for the meaning of life in general. We see her grow up in an original if slightly dysfunctional family. Now a waitress in central Paris, she interacts curiously with her neighbours and customers, as well as a mysterious Photomation-image collector and one of his even more mysterious photo subjects. Little by little, Amelie realizes that the way to happiness (and yet more subtle humour) requires her to take her own initiative and reach out to others
