Whimsical and lonely Montmartre waitress Amélie Poulain (Audrey Tautou) secretly helps others through small acts of kindness.

This stylish film of distinctive visuals and saturated colours set to a score by Yann Tiersen contemplates loneliness and connection.

‘This is not Paris in reality; this is the city of dreamers, a heightened reality in which the potential for magic lingers down every boulevard.’ – BBC
