Paris, France
August 2015
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly | Amélie | The Intouchables | The Elegance of the Hedgehog | Love me if you dare | Perfume | Marseille | The Piano Tuner | etc.
Amélie was the first French movie I watched while I was 12. Aftert that, there was a long period of time in middle school that I watched almost all the French arthouse movies I could access to. It ignited my imagination of France and contributed to the formation of my very founding aesthetics soul.
In 2015 I visited France for the first time in my life. When I visited Montmartre, where Amelie was filmed, all the shots turned out to be the 12-years-old-me imaginary memories of Paris.
