Monday Double: Amelie + Volver

From Paris to Madrid comes this vibrant double bill of fierce women, family secrets, and the magic hiding in everyday life.

AMELIE (2001) | M

At a tiny Parisian café, the adorable yet painfully shy Amélie (Audrey Tautou) accidentally discovers a gift for helping others. Soon Amelie is spending her days as a matchmaker, guardian angel, and all-around do-gooder. But when she bumps into a handsome stranger, will she find the courage to become the star of her very own love story?

VOLVER (2006) | M

Pedro Almodóvar's Volver follows three generations of women who survive the east wind, fire, insanity, superstition and even death by means of goodness, lies and boundless vitality. Raimunda (Penélope Cruz) navigates family secrets, sudden tragedies, and a dash of the supernatural in working class Madrid, when her deceased mother returns to fix the situations she couldn't resolve during her life.
