Day 2: Movie 2

For my second day of this 501-movie-long movie marathon, I'm watching Amelie, another great French movie.

Five minutes into this movie, it became one of my favorites. Audrey Tautou is divine as the title character, giving Amelie an innocence and magnificent radiance. The movie is a lovely story, beautifully filmed, surrealist in action but simplistic in principle.

The colors of this movie, as simple as that sounds, are splendid. The balance that can be seen is just unprecedented in my mind and gives the movie an other-worldly quality.

Almost like the fairy tales of childhood, Amelie is, in essence, a love story. This movie is really for people that are quirky or people that like people that are quirky. It is engaging, lovable, colorful, well-written, well-filmed, and charming.

This is a beautiful movie, and I LOVE it!

Au revoir!

P.S. My dirty pleasure movie today was "P.S. I Love You."
