so, my friend told me about a movie entitled amelie, a french film from 2001. he said the music alone was reason enough for me to watch it. and i agree. i watched it on saturday night and i've been listening to the soundtrack ever since. it is very french, with sexual references thrown in quite sporadically and unexpectedly.which made me laugh. the first two minutes made me wonder... but i'm glad i kept watching.
for the wikipedians, here's what "the free encyclopedia" has to say about amelie:
"Written by Jeunet with Guillaume Laurant, the film is a whimsical depiction of contemporary Parisian life, set in Montmartre. It tells the story of a shy waitress who decides to change the lives of those around her for the better, while struggling with her own isolation."
Amélie won best film at the European Film Awards, four César Awards (including Best Film and Best Director), two BAFTA Awards (including Best Original Screenplay), and was nominated for five Academy Awards.
now, thats cool...
i really want my friend, david, to watch it. he's a musical prodigy and i have a feeling he'd love yann tiersen's amazing music.
