ABOUT ME

My name is Amelie, I'm 22 yo, studying cinema in Paris. I'm easy going, friendly, genuinely curious about others and life.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life, live in the present, not in the past or the future. The most important person is the one in front of you...

And on another note, "You can get it if you really want" :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: A bunch! I'm a big Scorcese fan (Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, After Hours, The Last Temptation of Christ, etc.); I also loved, in no particular order, Singin' in the Rain, Lolita, The Apartment, The Remains of the Days, Wings of Desire, Husbands and Wifes, The Purple Rose of Cairo, The Tree of life, The Bridges of Madison County, Rushmore (and the other Wes Anderson's movies), Drive, The Man from Earth, Up...

Music: Die hard Bob Dylan fan. Otherwise, I listen to a bit of everything, Serge Gainsbourg, David Bowie, Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Pulp, Big Bands, jazz, and a lot of others...

Books: I love reading and like to discover the classics. Books that moved me include Lolita (again), L'écume des jours, Blankets (er, it's a graphic novel, but I love it nonetheless)...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent my teenage years in a beautiful small tropical island. It felt like being on a permanent holiday...

Teach, Learn, Share

What can I teach? I can tell you about the film industry, I can teach you a bit of french, also a few swing steps if you feel like it :)
I'm also happy to cook a french meal for you! Not that I'm a chef, but I know some recipes...
