French is the primary language of the 2001 film Amélie.
Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and starring Audrey Tautou, Amélie is a French romantic comedy set mainly in Paris. Its original French title is Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain, meaning “The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain.” The film follows Amélie, a shy waitress who secretly helps people around her while navigating her own romantic life.
The movie is primarily in French, although international releases use subtitles or dubbing for audiences who do not speak the language. Its vivid visual style, narration, and playful word-based humor are closely tied to French dialogue and Parisian settings.
French is a Romance language descended mainly from spoken Latin in Gaul. It developed through contact with regional languages and Germanic languages, especially after the Frankish settlement of parts of what became France.
