You'll be caught off guard and want to eat it! Delicious food in movies

"Amélie" (01)

Creme brûlée that makes you want to crush the burnt food

Director: Jean-Pierre Jeunet Cast: Audrey Tautou, Mathieu Kassowitz

Amélie(Audrey Tautou) is shy and withdrawn, without a lover or friends. One of the few things she enjoys is going to the movie theater on Friday nights and looking at the faces of the people watching the movie. To put your hand in a bean bag. Draining the Canal Saint-Martin. And to crush the burnt parts of the crème brûlée.

Crème brûlée literally means "burnt cream" in French. A combination of crunchy caramel and melty custard. This sweet, which was not yet familiar in Japan at the time, completely captured the hearts of girls who watched `` Amélie .'' In an instant, the number of stores serving crème brûlée increased dramatically, and it became a bit of a social phenomenon. It has become so popular that original products can now be enjoyed at convenience stores and fast food restaurants. Even though the scene of ``smashing the burnt creme brûlée'' lasted only a few seconds, it had an explosive impact.

With the huge success of ``Amélie,'' he became recognized as a fantasy filmmaker, but director Jean-Pierre Jeunet was originally a writer with a ``tremendous habit'' of black humor. `` Delicatessen '' (1991) was a clumsy film about a delicatessen that sells human flesh, set in post-nuclear war Paris. It's hard to believe that from his filmography, sweets that will captivate girls all over the world will be born... It's really surprising.

The Cafe des Deux Moulins where Amélie works is an actual cafe in Montmartre, Paris. The store is filled with posters and photos of "Amélie," making it a sacred place for movie fans. Of course, the signature dish is the crispy, charred creme brûlée.
