Synopsis:
Amélie (2001), directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, is a whimsical French romantic comedy about a shy but imaginative young woman, Amélie Poulain (Audrey Tautou), who lives in Montmartre, Paris. After a sheltered childhood, she becomes a quiet but observant waitress at a café.

One day, she discovers a hidden box of childhood treasures in her apartment and decides to return it to its owner. Seeing the joy it brings him, she embarks on a mission to secretly improve the lives of those around her through small, magical acts of kindness. Meanwhile, she becomes fascinated by a quirky man, Nino, who collects discarded photo booth pictures. Instead of confronting her feelings directly, she devises an elaborate game to connect with him.

As Amélie helps others, she realizes she must also take a chance on her own happiness. In the end, she overcomes her shyness, embraces love, and starts a new chapter with Nino. The film, known for its vibrant cinematography, playful narration, and uplifting charm, celebrates the beauty of life's small moments and the power of human connection.

The Old Picture House, located in Totterdown, Bristol, is like a cinematic time capsule that has been brought back to life. This charming venue, with its vintage decor and antique furniture, exudes a nostalgic atmosphere that takes you back to the golden age of cinema.

Cash only at the bar.
