Nevertheless, she spends the first part of the movie fawning around and sending her beloved tokens of affection. She is best known to English-speaking moviegoers as the title character in the award-winning movie Amlie (2001, Le Fabuleux destin dAmlie Poulain). Angélique’s love story is less innocent than Amélie’s, however, given she’s in a relationship with a dashing but married cardiologist named Loïc (Samuel Le Bihan) who she’s convinced will soon leave his pregnant wife for her. Released in 2002, He Loves Me… He Loves Me Not is the directorial feature debut of French filmmaker and actress Laëtitia Colombani and stars Audrey Tautou as Angélique – a dreamy, doe-eyed art student who doesn’t seem too different from Amélie at first.

The internationally known actress is best recognized for her role in Amlie, where she played a timid waitress vying to positively impact the lives of those. ![]() Paris is shot so gorgeously it’s easy to see why it’s nicknamed the “City of Love” while Tautou is perfect as the wide-eyed, whimsical Amélie even if her character’s surreptitious methods of improving the lives of those around her and nabbing love are often borderline creepy. Reminiscent of other gamine European beauties such as Leslie Caron and Audrey Hepburn, Tautou was already a well-known, award-winning actress in her. ![]() The film is an utter charm-fest from beginning to end.
