Am?lie?(Le fabuleux destin d?Am?lie Poulain) (2001) AmA?lie is a story about a girl named AmA?lie whose childhood was suppressed by her Father’s mistaken concerns of a heart defect. With these concerns AmA?lie gets hardly any real-life contact with other people. This leads AmA?lie to resort to her own fantastical world and dreams of love and beauty. She later on becomes a young woman and moves to the central part of Paris as a waitress. After finding a lost treasure belonging to the former occupant of her apartment, she decides to return it to him. After seeing his reaction and his new found perspective – she decides to devote her life to the people around her. Such as, her father who is obsessed with his garden-gnome, a failed writer, a hypochondriac, a man who stalks his ex girlfriends, the “ghost,” a suppressed young soul, the love of her life and a man whose bones are as brittle as glass. But after consuming herself with these escapades – she finds out that she is disregarding her own life and damaging her quest for love. AmA?lie then discovers she must become more aggressive and take a hold of her life and capture the beauty of love she has always dreamed of. ??spragg_sAwards: 59 wins & 74 nominations totalBudget: $10,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $174,028,204Soundtrack: Les Jours Tristes (instrumental) (Written by Neil Hannon)
