《天使爱美丽》是一部2001年上映的法国浪漫喜剧电影,由让-皮尔·热内执导。身兼编剧的热内以蒙马特区为故事背景,描绘了一幅充满奇思妙想的现代巴黎生活图景。影片讲述了奥黛丽·塔图饰演的腼腆餐馆服务生,一方面克服自己从小养成的孤僻性情,一方面积极帮助周围的人改变生活。该片由法德两国共同出品,并以3300万美元的票房收入成为在美国放映的法语片中最成功的电影。

Amelie was raised by eccentric parents who — due to a health checkup erroneously believed that she had a heart defect — prevented her from meeting other children. She was home schooled by her mother. She developed an active imagination and fantasy life to cope with her loneliness. After her mother was killed due to a freak accident, her disheartened father's withdrawal from society worsened. Amelie eventually decided to leave home and became a waitress at Café des 2 Moulins in Montmartre, which was staffed and frequented by a collection of eccentrics. Spurning romantic relationships after a few disappointing efforts, she found contentment in simple pleasures and letting her imagination roam free under the Paris sky until one day, she found the other consoling heart whose owner was a young man called Nino Quincampoix.
