![]() “Comptine d’un autre ete, l’apres-midi” is used multiple times in the film, especially when Amelie uses her spontaneous curiosity to help others, bring people together, or allow others to find a sense of wonder in the mundane. This similarity lies in how the tracks truly allow the listener to be transported into Amelie’s perspective of playfulness, enabling the listener to feel the depth of her attention to the beauty of the details around her world in Montmartre. Even though Tiersen executes both in different ways, there is a similarity in how the tracks make the audience feel the character of Amelie. Similarly, the song’s counterpart, “Comptine d’un autre ete: la demarche” is introduced later in the film with a fast, upbeat piano melody that illustrates the more radiantly joyful side of Amelie’s curiosity. For example, the score’s most critically acclaimed song, “Comptine d’un autre ete, l’apres-midi (Nursery Rhyme of Another Summer, Afternoon)” manages to evoke a childlike wonder through a slow, somber piano melody. Tiersen’s score also creates a sense of duality within Amelie’s character, as it's built from songs that have nearly identical titles, yet juxtapose themselves in terms of mood. Tiersen intentionally does this to display how even during Amelie’s more downbeat moments, her fascination with the world still remains. “Le Moulin (The Mill)” does not make for a dark or somber tone, but merely a sense of melancholic, innocent nostalgia. This sense of innocent curiosity is present within every arrangement in the movie, including those that are comparably gloomier, such as “Le Moulin (The Mill),” which features a slow melodic sequence lightly played on piano for the majority of the track. The film opens with the track “La redecouverte (The Rediscovery),” which follows Amelie’s childhood moments, consisting primarily of melodies featuring upbeat xylophones reminiscent of childlike nursery rhymes, bringing out a sense of imagination and youth. Through this sound, Tiersen captures the fleeting nature of romance, contentment, and the importance of finding pleasure in life’s small details.Ĭomposed of light, upbeat, nearly childlike sounds with hints of French romanticism, the movie’s score captures the magical and mysterious nature of the main character, Amelie, and her angelic sense of observation and curiosity. The score also utilizes contrasting instrumentals to display the juxtaposing innocence of the main character as she navigates through the startling reality of the real world. The film uses musical elements native to French music and plays around with experimental sounds using objects involved in the film, such as a bicycle wheel during one of the tracks. Leaping across train stations, carnival rides, and leaving clues for the mysterious admirer at locations displaying the beautiful French landscape, the film culminates in the reunion between her and the mysterious man-turned-love-interest after a hefty cat-and-mouse chase. Following a series of events that develop the young girl’s character as one driven by a desire to experience and a drive to connect others with her own sense of playful adventurousness, the main plot revolves around her adventures as she attempts to find the owner of a mysterious book of passport picture-like photographs. The film follows Amelie as she navigates through the streets and corners of Montmartre. ![]() A Jay Chou Megamix - includes 安静 and 黑色幽默 :)ġ0.Yann Tiersen’s score for the 2001 critically acclaimed film, “Amelie,” captures the essence of innocence through the rose-colored lens of the French landscape, tying together the story of a curious Parisian waitress Amelie.
