Director : Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Running Time : 122 mins

Amelie Poulin (Tautou) finds a new direction in her life when she finds a tin in the wall of her apartment. After she returns it to its rightful owner, she decides to make it her life’s ambition to do good deeds for anyone she meets, ranging from her colleagues at the café she works in to random strangers on the street.

This movie which, to be fair, has a pretty limited plot, manages to be entertaining throughout its duration. Audrey Tautou has perfect comedy timing in this romantic comedy, as do the supporting cast, and the style chosen by the director to translate this story to the screen makes it all the more entertaining.
