"This album inspired me a lot. At the end of each track, as the cd player goes to the next one, you have something in your chest, mixed feelings, just like when you're in love. Listen to it, you'll understand. Go ahead and laugh at me, but when I was listening to it in the store, amid the huge crowd of a Champs-elysees cd store, I felt I was gonna cry in front of all these people. The main instruments present are the accordeon, the piano, the flute, and a whole bunch of very expressive instruments; no singing. It represents a blend of french rythms and melodies, and classical licks. You can go Amazon.fr to hear some samples, or go to a cd store and listen to it; amazon.com imports it, so there are no samples here. The film in itself is revolutionary. You get immersed into the "fabulous" world of Amelie. You'll laugh, you'll feel sad, you'll feel a whole array of feelings. Don't miss it. I recommend it."

"I have seen the movie twice and I adore it. And the music blend with the movie. They work magicaly together. I have noticed the music tunes during the movie and I couldn't wait to get my hands on the soundtrack, and unlike some movies when you like the on-screen music and then you get disappointed when you listen to the soundtrack, this one just kept getting better and better.
Yann Tiersen did a beautiful job. A real master piece."
Simply magical!

"Since I saw this movie in France in May, it has kept me up at night, haunting me with bursts of joy and this insane desire to see it again. Even if you haven't been lucky enough to see this breathtaking film, get the soundtrack. My mother hasn't seen Amelie, and the music brought her to tears. Worth the money, worth ten times this much..."
The fabulous CD of the fabulous world of Amelie Poulain

"This lovely CD is the soundtrack to a very new movie revolutionizing French cinema. The film, "Le Fabuleux Destin D'Amelie Poulain,"(the fabulous destiny of Amelie Poulain) has quickly darted to the tops of everyone's charts. I sat mesmerized for the entirity of the time. Everyone that sees this film is bewitched and wooed dangerously into falling head over heels into Amelie's world. The all to real consequence being the crash at the end when the lights come up and the music fades. I have scoured high and low for this soundtrack and to my sheer delight I have finally found it. It is a wonderful mix of old fashioned accordian music and the songs we all used to hum as children, the written tunes of which never really existed outside our heads. I heartily recomend the soundtrack and the movie to anyone. No one has been disappointed yet."
