Film: Amélie
Dec. 25th, 2003 06:17 pmVerdict: Amélie is my favourite film in the world ever! It's beautiful, and funny, and adorable.
Circumstances of watching it: Lovely Channel 4 decided to show Amélie on Christmas day. I really wanted to see it again, and luckily![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lethargic_man hadn't seen it and was keen to, so that was that settled.
( detailed review )
Wow, just writing this review has put me into manic grinning mode! Anyone who hasn't seen this film absolutely should.
It was also cool to watch it with P'tite Soeur who is well up on allusions to French culture, and the Thuggish Poet who is good at spotting subtexts and being generally literary, andlethargic_man with whom I could use the film as a springboard for lots of fun discussions about the difference between films and books as media, and why fictional relationships generally fail to resemble real relationships, and other good things.
