Here’s the Spotify playlist of the entire album. “La Valse d’Amélie” (Orchestral version) Some of his compositions have been used in film scoring, such as Amlie, whose soundtrack primarily features excerpts from his first three studio albums.“Comptine d’un autre été: L’après-midi”.it’s still so fresh for the ears.Īmélie – Original Soundtrack – Yann Tiersen (in no partiuclar order) Tiersen was not primarily a composer of music for soundtracks at the time rather, he was best known in Europe as a musician and recording artist with a striking ability to play a plethora of. While much of Amélie’s popularity has been credited to its idiosyncratic storyline and its skilled director – Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Alien Resurrection / City of Lost Children / Delicatessen), equal credit has been attributed to the gorgeous Parisian landscape and the dazzling soundtrack by the celebrated French musician and composer – Yann Tiersen (Goodbye Lenin).įeaturing largely an accordion and piano plus novel interludes of the banjo, harpsichord, bass guitar and vibraphone, Amélie’s avant-garde soundtrack is outstanding European sounding music with elements of bal-musette and contemporary classical, which you’ll relish for a long, long time. The same description could likely apply to Yann Tiersens score for Amélie, itself achieving significant and lasting popularity in response to the film. The film lacks large special effects and leads to a more raw film. However, the acting and portrayal of the screenplay envelop the viewer into the world of Amlie, the main character. The film differs from that of a traditional American film. In fact, The New York Times still considers it as one of ‘The Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made’. The foreign film chosen for analysis was Amlie (2001) directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Apart from winning the French Oscars, the popular César awards Amélie was also a critical international success, getting nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Foreign Film besides winning several top awards at other global film festivals. Then I occasionally remember this one and check back and just shake my head.Much before Audrey Tautou became a well-known celebrity through the Da Vinci Code her original ticket to fame was the romantic comedy Amélie, Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain (English: The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain) the capricious 2001 French box office hit. Most of the reviews come within striking distance of having appropriate recommendations. Yes, a character works in a sex shop but that was not really noticed by her as an almost 11 year old.Īs I've used Common Sense Media over the years I've been grateful for it. I was glad we, her parents, were in control of that moment and also glad it was a film so full of happiness as this one. It has all the characteristics and colour we associate with the traditional. We talked about it ahead of time and the moment passes in a flash. Yann Tiersens music for Amelie seems to breathe the heart and soul of Paris. We actually consciously made this film the first film our daughter saw with any nudity or sex. This film has so much joy and fun and love in it that it is a sad shame if you are depriving your tween being a part of it because of very quick (and actually funny) orgasm montage. Rated for 7 year olds in much of Europe and even our neighbors to the north rated it suitable for 14 year olds. A key for parents to know is while this film is rated R in the USA, it was rated for all ages in France. Both in the official review and the parents' assessment. For all that Common Sense gets right this one is a bungle.
