Amélie: New 4K Restoration
Guest Programmed by Leigh Patton, Olympia Film Society’s Volunteer of the Year
One of the most celebrated films of the aughts, Amélie is a fanciful comedy about a young woman (Audrey Tautou) who discretely orchestrates the lives of the people around her, creating a world exclusively of her own making. Shot in over 80 Parisian locations, acclaimed director Jean-Pierre Jeunet (“Delicatessen”; “The City of Lost Children”) invokes his incomparable visionary style to capture the exquisite charm and mystery of modern-day Paris.
Dir. Jean-Pierre Jeunet / 2001 / French with English Subtitles / 121 min

“I chose to program Amelie as it is one of my favorite films in the slice-of-life genre. I first saw it as a teenager and immediately fell in love with its charming characters, lush cinematography, and Yann Tiersen’s incredible score, which I still love to go back and listen to. Probably one of my earliest ‘I’m gonna make this movie my entire personality’ moments. I’m thrilled to get to see its new 4K restoration at the Capitol Theater and can’t wait for others to experience it as well.” – Leigh Patton, OFS Volunteer of the Year
