Review of Amélie (2001)

Moving picture, 122 minutes

Life Is Beautiful (1997) without the Holocaust.

The quirkiness itself is slightly less successful here than in many of Jeunet et Caro’s other films. Too self-conscious, but successful as a feature-length version of “Things I Like, Things I Don’t Like” (1989).
