Viva La Vérité!

Truth in television and film is not a new concept. Agent Fox Mulder nearly drove himself crazy, insisting “The truth is out there” in the X-Files television show and movies. Comedy Central personality Stephen Colbert is so insistent on finding the truth that he has coined his own phrase for it: “truthiness.” Enter Cinéma Vérité (literally, “Cinema of Truth”). Tonight, the monthly series will be discussing the 2001 French film, Amélie. In the cult film, cutesy Amélie Poulain (Audrey Tautou) spends much of her time searching for truth in its purest form. Her goal is to find happiness from the positive experience of helping others.
