Amalie
Amelie was my first French movie, and I feel in love with Audrey Tautou as an actress. Charming is a perfect description. This movie is so sweet and we see such a lovely growth arch in the characters. It’s also quirky and fun. This is a movie that has made my ‘watch over and over’ list.
And the garden gnome traveling the world- they stole that from this movie. Because this has subtitles I would recommend this for teens, so they can read fast enough to keep up. It is rated R and can’t remember all the reasons, but I know one of the characters works in a sex shop, so again how much you want to explain is up to you. Hey it might be a good teaching moment. LOL!
Not to mention the opening sequence reporting on all the sexual activity taking place at that very moment. I loved it, too. Charming, quirky, whimsical. A perfect souffle.
LOL- I’d forgotten about the beginning- this is what I get for reviewing a movie I haven’t seen in a while.
I loved Amelie and Audrey Tatou. Parents can always get a listing of what sexuality (and language and violence) by trying Kids-in-mind.com (http://www.kids-in-mind.com/a/amelie_2001.htm )
Than for the link Bill I’ll have to check it out.
LOVED “Amelie!” I remember forgetting about the French and subtitles midway through…always a good sign. 😉
I agree, when I get lost in a movie I forget that I’m reading it and just get lost in the film.
Cool-looking movie. I bet I could rent it from Blockbuster.
Thank you, Alica.

YES- this one you should be able to rent! I hope you enjoy it.
I’ve never seen it, but you have made me seriously interested!
Oh, this is one of my favorite movies! Audrey Tatou is so cute and charming and whimsical, and that soundtrack is absolutely amazing. I love listening to it while I write — definitely good for sparking my inspiration.
I haven’t tried listening to it while writing, adding that to my list of breaking through writers block!
I’ve never seen this one. But now I want to see it, so I put it on my must-watch list for upcoming holiday (The rare time I indulge in movies!).
Thanks, Alica.
I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for stopping bye Jolyse
