AN ENCORE FOR FRENCH CINEMA

摘要

Claire Guillermie is on a pilgrimage. Like dozens of gawkers every week, the 16-year-old tourist from Brittany has trekked to this quiet corner in Paris' Montmartre district to check out the family-owned produce market made famous in the hit movie Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (Amélie from Montmartre). Forget Toulouse-Lautrec and the Moulin Rouge: Montmartre today is in the throes of Amélie mania. "She has seduced the public," says Alain van Gen-nep, director of operations for France's largest theater chain, Union Générale des Cinémas, which helped bank-roll the film.
