Amelie Poulain is a spritelike young woman, her sparkling eyes and mischievous grin framed by a girlish black bob. Her fashionably natty Montmartre apartment is filled with bizarre, cute kitsch, like portraits of silly dogs and geese, and a lamp that's held by Mr. Pig. Amelie doesn't have a boyfriend, but she does have her turn-ons: sticking her hand into a bagful of dried legumes, or -- ooh la la! -- breaking the crust on a creme brulee.
