Amelie Poulin resides in Momatre, Paris in a tiny but homely apartment. Self trained to appreciate the small joys in life (cracking the top of a crème brûlée, guessing the number of people experiencing a climax at one exact time, or taking a Friday night film) she is playful in nature and curious of her surroundings. When she discovers evidence of her apartments previous tenant she sets out to return the items to their owner, while spreading joy to others along the way. With a whimsical sound track by an Exeter Phoenix alumni (yang Teisen) and the stylish visuals of Jean-Pierre Jeunet this film is a magical way to spend your evening.

It seems like yesterday that we hid gnomes all over Exeter and invited our audience to snap themselves with the ones they discovered. In fact it was nearly 9 years ago! Amelie definitely deserves a spot in our summer celebration programme. With all the finest ingredients blended together to deliver an exquisite French film experience we can’t wait to present this titles once again.
