Amelie Opening Sequence

Link to Amelie opening sequence

Here is a clip of the opening sequence to the film Amelie, the sound quality is quite poor but I feel it will show the shots nicely enough. In this video the director is introducing the main character in the film, Amelie Poulain. The sequence is set in the main characters childhood, the shots are a collection of things that kids do such as; drawing a face on your hand and speaking with it, peeling PVA off your fingers, playing with dominoes and spinning coins. The sequence isn't a great example of rapid cuts but is a good reference for content and stylistically I think it looks very effective.
