...addition to Jeunet's deft touch behind the camera, Amélie Poulain benefits from an appealing cast. Audrey Tautou, who won the César-France's top film award-for best new actress last year, gives a heart-melting performance as Amélie.

Before they came to TIME in 1997, Jim and Don won two Pulitzer Prizes for their work at the Philadelphia Inquirer, which makes them the only journalists to win the highest awards in newspaper reporting and magazine writing twice. You would think this would make them arrogant (hard as it may be to believe that a journalist could be arrogant), but they are models of self-effacement. My only quibble with them is that they collect so many statues and plaques (just...
