Released in the UK on 5th October 2001, today Amélie celebrates its 15th anniversary.
The French romantic-comedy tells the story of an alienated young woman living in contemporary Paris who decides to change the lives of those around her for the better.
Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and starring Audrey Tautou, the film is noted for its unique visual style, strong colour palette and quirky approach.
As well as being a commercial success and earning over $170 million at the box office, the film was a critical triumph. Winning Best Film at the European Film Awards, Amélie also took home two BAFTAs and was nominated for five Academy Awards – an impressive feat for a foreign-language film.
