Anyone seen Amelie? Something has been bugging me? The painter guy in it with the big, mad hat. He is supposed to be someone isn't he? Like a real painter from the olden days. I mean I know he paints Renoirs but I am not sure it is him. I have definitely seen that face and that hat before somewhere. It might even have been a portrait. Anyone know what I am on about?

He potentially looks a little Rembrantesque. IMHO.

God, it's a wonderful film. And Audrey Tatou is a vision of perfection.

It is bugging me. I have seen exactly that face before with that hat. If it wasn't a famous artist or writer it might have been someone in a portrait.

Oh, for crying out loud I ask a simple question and not one of you can event attempt an answer. Do any of you actually watch films? Have an arty education? Then surely someone must know where this face comes from...its haunting my dreams...

I don't think its Rembrandt, he was far too chubby and avuncular: Fixe d link here.

But it's the right time and place. I think I know who you mean but I cannot for the life of me remember them. And it might be of a model rather than a self-portrait...

Saw it again today. The only bell it rings is from a Rembrandt portrait, I think; a fairly dark one of a guy in a helmet? You can't see that much of it. Am at work at the mo - will try to find a link for it later. Very, very dark... I think it's the emphasis on the cragginess of Dufayel's face in the film that puts me in mind of that picture...

A stupid, whimsical, romantic, French 'feel-good' movie with accordian music and lovely photography .. THAT'S REALLY GOOD?

Further proof that the world is going mad.

I particularly liked the videotapes that she sent to the painter, though I can't figure out why he didn't watch stuff for himself on his TV..
