Is Amelie the Only Reason You Went to Paris?

Woman Inherits the Earth: Amelie


In this, the Amelie episode of the pod, Beth and Tess discuss the fun of films focused on whimsy and quirk, make a few comparisons to Wes Anderson, lament the lack of films like Amelie for young girls who want something other than only homemaking or corporate ambition for their lives, compare and contrast their own experience of Paris and city life to what is shown in the movie, and spend a lot more time than necessary talking about the absence of the color blue.


Content warning: some mild discussion of onscreen sexuality.


A note about spoilers: As much as we’d love to make this a spoiler-free podcast, the truth is, we can’t really get much of a discussion going without completely spoiling the plot of the film we’re talking about. If you don’t want to be spoiled, watch the movie before you listen to us.
