We watched the first few minutes of "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain" (Or "Amélie Poulain" for short)
It's an extremely bizzare film (E.g her home was so depressing, her pet goldfish "poisson rouge" (meaning: "gold fish") tried to kill itself!) but it has a great story behind it: "Je l'adore!" says Polly... And as usual, we all agree. =D
The narrator speaks VERY fast, adding to the originality (seemingly like a fairy tale - he introduces each character, their interests and strange habits.) Amélie's wild imagination means that she lives in her own world, meaning it's hard to understand her mind, hence the originality of the film. (C'est une histoire d'amour) C'est la vie d'Amélie, and her search for love.
C'est un film très bizzare, mais romantique!
We haven't finished watching it yet, but it looks like we will soon!
If you have seen this movie: Tell us what you thought!

Have a look at the Moving Image blog. The A2 students are about to do a detailed study of Amelie it says!
