Honestly, I haven't noticed the extreme use of color the first time I watched the movie. Amélie's apartment for example is almost completely red, the underground station and the train station are kept in green and the green grocery store stands out from the grey buildings. Sometimes the use of color gets very obvious. When Amélie Poulain sits down to watch the tragedy of her life on her TV, there is an outstanding of a blue lamp in the background. Audrey Tautou (Amélie Poulain), mostly wears either red or green dresses, as well as the housekeeper (Yolande Moreau as Madelaine Wallace, concierge), and Amélie's mother (Lorella Cravotta as Amandine Poulin) in the beginning of the film. To establish a dreamlike atmosphere they used mostly red and green, sometimes adding a little blue spot in the picture to set the contrast. Jean-Pierre Jeunet and his camera man, Bruno Delbonnel, wanted to make the film look like the Spanish painter did his artwork. Thanks to Jean-Pierre Jeunet I had a wonderful dream, I will never forget. We seek to escape our normal world just for a short period of time, to experience something totally different and yet, we want to find ourselves in this world. We sit for over one-hour and comfortable chair - our breath slows down and as the lights are switched off, we enter a dream world. In my opinion, it is an outstanding film in film history for its cinematography, the music, the story, but above all the overall atmosphere. I consider Jean-Pierre Jeunet's film as a masterpiece. Unfortunately the film didn't win an Academy Award for the best foreign film in 2001 which still puzzles film fans all over the world. But it's popularity was even a surprise to Jean-Pierre Jeunet himself as he once stated: `I guess I have to produce a film like Alien Resurrection (USA 1997) to make a movie like Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain', obviously not aware of the films potential. Jean-Pierre Jeunet fell in love with the story and the film he titled Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain. Short analysis on Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain For 20 years Jean-Pierre Jeunet collected small astonishing and intriguing moments in his life, taking notes in his diary, not knowing that he was up to co-write and direct one of the most successful film in French film history.
