Some things should come with health warnings: cigarettes, alcohol, intravenous drugs, the Amelie soundtrack.I've been listening to this for about a week non stop at work. I love Amélie (où <<Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain>>) the movie, MAIS la musique du film... Mon dieu!
Composed by Yann Tiersen, it is a great and quirky soundtrack, with haunting piano solos and very Gallic sounding, 1930's pieces, that work amazingly well with the film to help conjure up the dreamlike world of the main character, and I really do love every single track on the album.. But what I don't understand is how people can review this soundtrack as making them feel good, because all I feel is a sadness so thick that I can barely conjure up the energy to breath, and all I want to do is disappear to Paris for months on end, drinking café's and be by myself.
And here I go, hitting the play button again. Sigh.

i did almost the same thing to the "Great Expectations" soundtrack. I thought i moved on but lo and behold i have Mono "Life in Mono" in almost every major play list .....
there is no hope for me i know.
I loved the movie, and from what I recall I also found it had a very somber tone to the soundtrack. Now, I am going to have to rewatch the movie accompanied by some good wine, to verify.

I love that film too.. just wish the music wasn't so addictive/sad...
Though to be honest, I have this problem with loads of music.. anything I find vaguelly depressing, and I'm hooked... Mr Brightside by The Killers unfortunately got played to death.... Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley is another one that does a fair few turns on my ipod too....
