Amélie (2001)
Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet
influenced This Beautiful Fantastic (2016)
Characters Plot Themes
Downton Abbey 's Jessica Brown Findlay, who also adds some spunk to the England is Mine supporting cast, plays Bella, an orphan raised by nuns who has such a complete list of delightful quirks that she must have a severe case of Amelie .
It’s basically an English remake of Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s 2001 French-language box-office hit “Amélie.”
This Beautiful Fantastic, much like 2001’s Amélie, is gossamer.
Though it has been compared to Amelie, the movie has a leaner sensibility, never lapsing into froufrou.
Likewise, there's a fantastical Amelie -esque element which sort of just evaporates as the story focuses on more down-to-earth, depressingly familiar dramatic beats.
