Amélie" (or "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain" as I first knew it) has got to be one of my favorite movies of all time. (I have a huge poster in my office.) The music is suited to match, and this song is probably my favorite, with all the vigor and excitement one should feel when in love. I looked it up and "La Noyée" translated is "The Drowned" (in love presumably). I wonder what it is about the French that can make the accordion romantic (especially compared to these guys, not that those guys are trying)? Perhaps I am missing G for she is away.
I love how everything is red and green, and slightly saturated in the movie too. It is like eye candy. Highly recommended!
