Amelie's color palettes strongly reminded me of a film by Wes Anderson. Perhaps the similarities don't end there; the fast, whipping page and sly humor that is sometimes stretched incredibly long (orgasms in the city) versus incredibly short (glances through the cafe) feel similar to something Anderson would have done as well. Still, Jean-Pierre Jeunet (and the other writers) manage to make each character feel alive and unique. It's a lighthearted journey that recognizes family, peers, and even the strangers around Amelie. I'd give Amelie an 8/10.
