Interesting that Amelie is featured so often. Could it be that the character is possibly autistic? I have always seen it as an autism film given the very different view of life around her. My favorite film is Fear And loathing in Las Vegas as I love the sheer anarchy of trashing hotel rooms and the insanity of covering a bike race in the desert.
I absolutely love Amelie. She is obviously a bit different from the people around her, lives in her own world, spends a lot of time observing people and is just a thoroughly lovely character.
It’s easy to see why autistic people would like her.
I wish I could meet someone like her!

I went on a business trip to Paris with two work colleagues last February and managed to arrange a hotel in Montmartre for our stay. I don’t think they figured out why
