Audrey Tautou. Actress: Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain. Audrey Justine Tautou was born on August 9, 1976 in Beaumont, France, to Evelyne Marie Laure (Nuret), a teacher, and Bernard Tautou, a dental surgeon.
The main story starts on the day that Princess Diana died, though that fact is not important for the film I think.
This is one of those days/nights that everybody remembers. I remember watching the BBC when they switched to a live feed of a tunnel entrance in Paris, with nothing to see and no explanation yet why. It was very eerie watching this tunnel, knowing something bad must have happened which they hadn't confirmed yet, so they couldn't say. Then slowly the information trickled out, that it had something to do with Diana, then that there had been a crash, then that the people were treated in the car due to bad injuries, then that they had been taken to hospital. All while for hours looking at a dark tunnel entrance in Paris, with nothing to see. Of course everybody hoped she would survive, but before the news eventually came that she had died, we saw the car being taken away on a truck and from the state of the car I lost all hope right then that anybody could survive that (it's miraculous that one person did, all three others died).

in reply to Gidi Kroon • •It's a fun quirky film, reminded me in some parts of Gregory's Girl though it's of course completely different.
At several moments in the film I caught myself thinking 'why is she like that' but then I realised we're all like that.
