Description

Amélie is the whimsical French hit from Jean-Pierre Jeunet, starring Audrey Tautou as a shy waitress who finds joy in secretly improving the lives of those around her. With its quirky humour, inventive visual style, and a magical opening ten minutes, the film makes a striking impression. Though we found ourselves losing interest as the many story threads unfolded. It remains a unique presence in world cinema we're glad to have watched, but one that didn’t completely capture us beyond its charm. Then after the review, Jayden breaks down his eventful week at MIFF, and we’ll go through your picks for the best scenes of all time set in a movie theatre.Join a crew of wannabe film critics review a different movie every week, and discuss other nonsense.
