"Amélie," directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and written by the French filmmaker with Guillaume Laurant, remains one of the 21st-century arthouse's most imaginative confections, the rare film perhaps more misunderstood now than it was when it came out in 2001. Make no mistake that "Amélie" was huge then. There was the box office, the awards, the infectious swells of composer Yann Tiersen's music in the air (at least in my headphones), and then came the imitators.
But as Jeunet told IndieWire, an American re-release of the movie 23 years later "is a dream."
