This poster shows a smiling young woman in a halo of warm yellow light above a French café on a cobbled street. Below this is the film title, which translated from French says: 'The Fabulous Destiny of Amelie Poulain'. Other text on the poster includes the name of the director, acting credits and the names of the two main actors.
When looking at this poster, it is obvious that the main character of the film is the young woman in the foreground. The warm toned colours such as the dark orange-red she is wearing and the yellow circle surrounding her insinuate that she is a warm and friendly person. Another interesting point is that the café below her shares the same colours, making it appear a warm and inviting place. The fact that it is also 1. The only open place on the street and 2. Full of colour in a grey-blue street draws more attention to it.
