Amélie

Sony is packing up Jean-Pierre Jeunet's French comedy-fantasy Amélie starring Audrey Tautou and Mathieu Kassovitz inside a limited edition Blu-ray SteelBook on March 26.

The Blu-ray includes the ALL-NEW: Jean-Pierre Jeunet Looks Back featurette.

Bursting with imagination and having seen her share of tragedy and fantasy, Amélie is not like the other girls. When she grows up, she becomes a waitress in a Montmartre bar run by a former dancer. Amélie enjoys simple pleasures until she discovers that her goal in life is to help others. To that end, she invents all sorts of tricks that allow her to intervene incognito into other people's lives, including an imbibing concierge and her hypochondriac neighbor. But Amélie's most difficult case turns out to be Nino Quicampoix, a lonely sex shop employee who collects photos abandoned at coin-operated photobooths.
