About the film: Amelie - wonderful, wonderful, kind, bright, funny, romantic film ... One of those is not a lot that takes itself a piece of your soul
and stays there forever. Excellent workmanship, one of the most imaginative and creative directors of our time - Jean-Pierre Jeunet and delightfully
sweet, heart of the heating at one of its kind, the French actress - Audrey Tautou.

Amelie
Amelie is one of the most gorgeous films in recent memory, and the good news is this new AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 2.35:1 finally reproduces the
film's absolutely lush and luscious cinematography largely to a tee. Cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel received a well-deserved Academy Award nomination
for his sun drenched work here, a series of images which is absolutely bathed in golden tones that are somehow utterly redolent of the French soul.
The image here is beautifully sharp and extremely well detailed. For example, on the SD-DVD I had frankly never even noticed the small stream of water
flowing in the lower left side of the screen in the film's opening shot detailing the life of the blue fly. But over and over again fine detail is
staggering in this release, and the brilliant palette is both robust and wonderfully well saturated. Digital post was still a relatively new
phenomenon when this film was released and then migrated to DVD, and Jeunet goes into some detail in the commentary about how various scenes were
digitally pushed toward the green end of the spectrum for example, but this Blu-ray offers all of that artificiality with really nuanced detail.
Amйlie has had a somewhat spotty release history on some international Blu-rays, but Lionsgate has done a stellar job on this first domestic release.

Product Description
Perhaps the most charming movie of all time, Amélie is certainly one of the top 10. The title character (the bashful and impish Audrey Tautou) is a
single waitress who decides to help other lonely people fix their lives. Her widowed father yearns to travel but won't, so to inspire the old man she
sends his garden gnome on a tour of the world; with whispered gossip, she brings together two cranky regulars at her café; she reverses the doorknobs
and reprograms the speed dial of a grocer who's mean to his assistant. Gradually she realizes her own life needs fixing, and a chance meeting leads to
her most elaborate stratagem of all. This is a deeply wonderful movie, an illuminating mix of magic and pragmatism. Fans of the director's previous
films (Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children) will not be disappointed; newcomers will be delighted. --Bret Fetzer
Review
Attention, DVD événement! Sans être parfait (absence d’un véritable making of, léger bruit vidéo), cette édition est un petit bijou, à commencer par
ses menus inventifs, animés et musicaux. La définition – lissée - de l’image s'associe parfaitement avec les couleurs saturées, la luminosité gérée à
merveille et en parfaite adéquation avec la photo si particulière du film. Les voix sont claires, la musique dynamique et enveloppante, les effets à
la fois précis et puissants, avec peu de différences entre les pistes surround DD et DTS. Les extras sont nombreux (regroupés au sein des différents
univers d’Amélie) et de qualité: interview et commentaire audio passionnants du réalisateur, court-métrage réussi, bêtisier attendrissant, reportage
complice sur la promotion du film ou la création de l’album photos, séquences d’essais des acteurs, ou galerie variée de photos, affiches et
storyboards… Une édition à se procurer de toute urgence ! Note technique : 4/5. -- TESTandCO.com
