“Amélie” is a young girl living with her

“Amélie” is a young girl living with her Belgian diplomat father, her mother and her two siblings on post in Tokyo. From birth, she has been a little bit different, and so her parents have recruited the kindly “Nishio-san” to come and take care of her. Her almost instant affect on the child is mesmerising and soon the two are bonding and “Amélie” is speaking - though not immediately to her pesky elder brother “André”, and making up for some of her lost time. As she hits her third birthday, she receives some news that is going to change her life and upset her equilibrium. Even at her tender age, she knows this is a profound moment in her life. The symbolism here is boldly yet subtly presented through the eyes of a child who might really consider she is a manifestation of God. That’s not so much a heavenly or divine being, more an undefinable concept that fuels her imagination, drives her curiosity and with a degree of mysticism emerging from her rapport with “Nishio-san” this exudes a sense of warmth and humanity that is touching, mischievous and innocent, too. That said, this simply drawn and colourful animation also tangentially exposes us to some of the rigidity of organised faith as a tool to exercise authority - physical and moral, and the ever gobbling carp have quite an emotionally powerful role to play, too. These messages are not all that this drama represents as “Amélie” isn’t averse to some giggling, joy and the odd strop to remind us that even though the story wants to touch on issues of faith, and even the troubled recent history of Japan, this is still a film about the elementary evolution of a charming young girl and of her friendships.

Amélie and the Metaphysics of Tubes: Childhood in Technicolor

Amélie Nothomb didn't strike me as the easiest writer to translate for children, even though in Metaphysics of Tubes she romanced her earliest memories, particularly those involving her Japanese nurse, to whom she owed boundless admiration. The thematic heart of the story is precisely this transition: from the "God-tube," an infant entirely self-centered on primal needs, absorbing everything but retaining nothing, to the little girl who, accumulating positive and negative experiences, gradually opens herself to the world, its concepts, emotions, and sensations.More than the touching bond between the girl and her caretaker - emphasised more heavily in the novel - what stands out in this adaptation is the visual feast: the explosion of shapes and colours once the child emerges from her vegetative meditation upon discovering chocolate, the shimmering pastels evoked by even the smallest stroll in the garden, the veil of dreamlike or lucid fantasy that overlays each new discovery. These elements can't yet be fully understood, but their reinterpretation occupies a vital place in Amélie's imagination.This animated adaptation positions itself somewhere between a children's film and an adult one. Despite a singular aesthetic direction that won't please everyone, it delivers sheer delight for the eyes while judiciously retaining enough of the author's words to let the adaptation breathe without burden. It's brief, perhaps, but more than enough to say everything that needs to be said.

Animation like few have done it

The story is moving, heavy with symbolism. Funny, sad, confusing, truly the world seen by a child.Well written script that feels like reading a novel and listening to someone's story at the same time. Very metaphor heavy.The best part is the animation. The small things are given so much detail as to make the world feel real. The painterly style is unique and you can see how much work went into every single frame. The expressive faces, the landscapes, the complex settings, the color theory ... both artistically and technically impressive.Worth a watch. Family friendly feel good movie with some real depth.
