Chocolate Taste-Along: Amelie (2001)

Celebrate International Chocolate Day with us at the Hippodrome with our latest chocolate taste-along screening: the entrancing Amélie. Join us for this unique melt-in-the-mouth movie experience. The showing of Amélie will be paired with a bespoke tasting-box selection – each chocolate lovingly crafted to match the film’s most sensuous moments. Amélie (adorably played by Audrey Tautou) is a shy waitress beset with social anxieties who enjoys life's small pleasures from a safe distance… until a chance discovery sets her on a path to begin her life as a mender of broken hearts. A tremendously seductive modern fairytale, set against the beautiful landmarks and cafés of Paris – that most romantic and magical of cities. “A deeply lovely movie about the importance, and the rewards, of kindness.” The Times “Tautou is utterly captivating. Ditto the movie. There’s magic in it.” Rolling Stone “If Paris were destroyed tomorrow and the recipe for true love lost, archaeologists could reconstruct both to perfection from just a reel of ‘Amélie’, Jean-Pierre Jeunet's fresh, funny, exquisitely bittersweet tour de force.” Variety “You’ll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart" and pre-order your chocolate box! The delicious handmade chocolates are made to order. We have pre-ordered 110 boxes. We can order more up to two weeks ahead of the screening.
