“A gorgeous film about love, search, hope and fight. Colors from u0026quot;Amelieu0026quot;, touching Gaspard Ulliel, delicate performing of Audrey Tautou, impressive presence of Jodie Foster. And flavor of a lost world, so persistent, so heavy, so ambiguous.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA splendid French adaptation of a novel but, more important, a subtle exploration of miracleu0026#39;s rules. At first sight, it is a story about believe. At the second- hope in the skin of nostalgic images. But in fact, it is end of innocence. Manech is not the boy-friend, the good guy from an old lighthouse, he is the sense of Mathildeu0026#39;s existence. The poor signs to know if he is alive, the contact with lives of others, the postman like angel of new part in interior universe, the joy and the final silence are elements of a intangible miracle.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat is the motif to discover this film like second part of u0026quot;Amelie Poulainu0026quot;. Same director or same actress are irrelevant details for explain the feeling because the message is more important than any definition. The principal character are not the war/ search/love/ sacrifice/hope. The fundamental problem is the sense of life, yesterday or tomorrow, the gestures of worldu0026#39;s discover, the taste of miracle and the touch of his shadow.”
