Irresistibly charming... a visual feast and a love letter to life's small pleasures." – The Guardian

Amélie (Audrey Tatou), the heroine of Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s award-winning whimsical romance, is no ordinary young woman. A waitress in a Montmartre, Paris bar, Amélie observes people and lets her imagination roam free. One day, she suddenly finds her purpose in life: to solve other people’s problems. We follow her around a lovingly and vividly photographed Paris of saturated colors, as she engineers offbeat solutions to better her deserving co-workers, relatives and neighbors’ lives. Amélie’s mission to help others is rudely interrupted when she meets a strange, off-beat young man, Nino Quincampoix (Mathieu Kassovitz), who captures her interest, and sets her on a misson to accomplish something for herself…in the most charming and complicated way possible.

If you choose Amélie for your movie, regardless of the menu you choose, we will bring you some special items : 10 raspberries per person in your group so you can put them on your fingertips and eat them off, a sack of lentils so you can plunge your hand in and experience that joy, a generously brûléed crème brûlée per person with spoons for cracking, and a garden gnome. You can take the garden gnome home with you provided you promise to send us a photo of it someplace fun, not just your bookshelf at home.
