Monday - Week 2

During our lesson today we finished Amelie, it was an enjoyable movie. Although, I am still unsure of the exact purpose of the film. It was quite different to any film I have seen before as I really haven't watched many international films.

Difference to Hollywood films:

• Colours - overuse of saturation
• Shaky shots - when tension was building or an important scene was taking place
• odd pace - some shots were fast whilst others dragged out
• Not a typical romance type of film

Audrey Tautou played Amelie and has starred in other films including; Coco before Chanel, Priceless and Mood Indigo. She did a great job in this film that we watched and I would love to see her take on another role in these films.
