The soundtrack to Jean-Pierre Jeunet's charming, slightly surreal romantic comedy Amélie features music by Yann Tiersen. Just as the film presents an idyllic, idealized version of Paris, Tiersen's score captures the most romantic aspects of French music, complete with fluttering accordions, delicate harpsichords, mandolins, and poignant strings and pianos. Pieces like "J'y Suis Jamais Allé," "Le Moulin," "La Valse des Monstres," and "Les Jours Tristes" -- which features a toy piano -- convey the film's sweet, slightly ...

The soundtrack to Jean-Pierre Jeunet's charming, slightly surreal romantic comedy Amélie features music by Yann Tiersen. Just as the film presents an idyllic, idealized version of Paris, Tiersen's score captures the most romantic aspects of French music, complete with fluttering accordions, delicate harpsichords, mandolins, and poignant strings and pianos. Pieces like "J'y Suis Jamais Allé," "Le Moulin," "La Valse des Monstres," and "Les Jours Tristes" -- which features a toy piano -- convey the film's sweet, slightly skewed outlook perfectly, and are completely charming in their own right. Aside from the three variations on the heroine's theme, "La Valse d'Amélie," most of the score comes from Tiersen's other albums, making Amélie a fine introduction to his work as well as an appropriately winning soundtrack. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

Fantastic
I'd heard of the Movie "Amelie" but have not seen it . I heard the artist was being compared to Mozart, etc. so when I heard the artist, Yann Tiersen , was playing in concert recently in Mpls, MN, I went. Not having seen the movie nor knowing what the artist looked like, a second band came out.(no introductions were made) whose music was totally different from that of Mozart but simply fantastic! The multi-generational audience was totally into this group. I went up to the merchandise table to buy a CD. Imagine my surprise to discover the band on stage was Yann Tiersen and friends! Some of the music played towards the end of the concert had similar styles to "Amelie". I can't tell you how often I've listened to "Amelie" and "Dust Lane."
