Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s wonderfully quirky and irresistibly enchanting Amélie makes a welcome return to the big screen in a new digital restoration to celebrate its 10th anniversary. After a lonely childhood with a father who showed her little physical affection, the adult Amélie (an adorable Audrey Tautou) waitresses in a Montmartre café filled with eccentric staff and customers (including Jeunet regular Dominique Pinon). The accidental discovery of a boy’s treasure box in the wall of her bathroom prompts her to trace the owner, now a grandfather. On seeing the joy this brings him, Amélie becomes a guardian angel of sorts, devising elaborate and secret stratagems for bringing happiness to those around her. In the process, she finds that there may be a chance at happiness for her too, thanks to the arrival of Nino (Mathieu Kassovitz). Jeunet’s Paris is probably the most fairytale-perfect depiction of the city ever committed to celluloid, and the film remains as heartwarming as ever. (Notes by Kevin Coyne).

A lecturer in my college actually gave us a short chat about how Amelie is a racist movie because the only non white characters are a simpleton and a one legged tap dancer.

Some people huh ?

Oh for God's sake! That's actually hilarious. How many non-white lecturers are in the college?

Surely a one legged person who manages to become a tap dancer would be a positive role model for monopedal non-Caucasians?
 
Drive - looks and sounds great but there's not much to it really is there? It was a bit too Michael Mann for my liking as well.
