Love you, girl!

GREAT POST... lots of work!
Love this movie... truly one of my all time favorites!
ahh, j'adore amelie!
I remember hearing in the bonus cd that the sets are similar to the artwork by a Portuguese (I think) artist. The adding of one strong color, like blue or green. Does anyone remember the name?
Oh my goodness, I love this post!! I am so in love with the movie.
Hi!
I tried following the link to the "Pig sculptural base", as I'd _r_e_a_l_l_y_ like to get my hands on one of those, but sadly the link is dead. Do you know where to find one?
Thanks,
Sven
