The CD player was on and the director was impressed by the music he heard playing. A coincidence, however, reversed the normal flow of things: one day a member of the crew offered to give the director a lift. All you have to do is just press “play” and let the music do the miracle! And if you don’t believe that music can do wonders, then perhaps this soundtrack can make you reconsider! Cause this particular soundtrack has the ability to make its listener see the world through Amelie’s eyes, eyes that sparkle with enthusiasm and mood for mischief, structural elements that characterize the likeable heroine of Jean- Pierre Jeunet’s film.Īmelie’s director, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, had Michael Nyman in mind as his choice for the composer of the film. Would you like to feel an immediate injection of optimism? Would you like to experience an imaginary musical universe overflowing with kindness? Or perhaps beamed to Paris, to places where Amelie wandered? All the above are possible by listening to the soundtrack of the film. Τhe music of the film coincides perfectly with Amelie’s fantasy world. An eccentric soul, who carries her own fantasy world as a survival tool, where the real world turns into something far more beautiful and kind. An inexhaustible source of kindness, that consciously neglects to become a part of troubled everyday life. A girl who prefers to socialize with smiling people, who face life with optimism.

Sets and costumes (visual stimulus), and the soundtrack (sonic stimulus), all are inspired by Amelie’s unique character, a young girl who lives in France and she likes to improve the lives of people surrounding her. Of course, Amelie’s specific temperament is the starting point for realizing the film on a visual and sonic level. “Amelie” has become a reference point for the French cinema, a romantic comedy with a rather distinctive personality in every aspect of its production. “Give yourself a special gift: Amelie’s soundtrack.įor the rest of your life, you’ll be happy that you did!“
