Talking Movies French Cinema Classics: 'Am茅lie'

It's one of the most iconic films ever set in Paris, and next week it'll be re-released in French cinemas in time for the Olympic Games.

Jean Pierre Jeunet's 'Am茅lie', released in 2001, stars Audrey Tautou and went on to be nominated for five Oscars.

Set in the artistic Montmartre quarter of Paris, it still brings tourists flocking to that part of the capital to pay homage to the film.

Talking Movies reporter Emma Jones explains why this story, about a young waitress who wants to help others find joy, remains a French classic.
