I will probably remember the impressions and forget the story too.

Great movie.
And yeah, Amelie is like a fairy tale. So are all Jeunet’s his movies, really.
Anyone else feel like his aesthetic was used a bit for The Shape if Water? Maybe it’s just me. Also The Shape of Water wasn’t good.
City of Lost Children is fucking great though!
