This a rather gushing piece about Amélie (original title: Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain) (2001) directed and co-written by Jean-Pierre Jeunet on its twentieth anniversary:
BBC website article about Amélie
I like the film, but not in the same way this reviewer does. I think it best makes sense as a study of a young woman with psychological problems arising from her childhood. I would not find such a person charming in real life, but rather annoying and infuriating if exposed to her too much.
The garish photography, quaint settings and quirky characters remind me of Wes Anderson films, though Amélie is not as 'camp'.
