Fun fact, the name of the brothers was Lumière. Which means "Light" in
English.

It wasn't the first movie from Jean-Pierre JEUNET. I liked it but was
surprised by its popularity. For me when Jean-Pierre JEUNET created
movies with Marc CARO he did better. I really preferred  « Delicatessen
» and « La cité des enfants perdus ». And they are more original at the
same time.

I liked _Amélie_, so looked for another movie with the same director,
and came across _Delicatessen_.  Great film, but some of it is a bit
dated.  (Without spoiling anything, an example:  the attitude
toward wearing glasses seems very last-century -- even though it
sets up a hilarious situation.)
