KINGSTON, N.Y. >> The romantic comedy Amlie, about a painfully shy Parisian waitress who makes sly incursions into the lives of her neighbors, will be the next Movies With Spirit screening, at 7 p.m. July 15 at Congregation Emanuel of the Hudson Valley, 243 Albany Ave.

Director Jean-Pierre Jeunets film, in French with English subtitles, is irresistibly endearing, Claudia Puig wrote in USA Today.

The fairy tale-like story focuses on the title character, Amlie Poulain (Audrey Tautou), who had tragedy in her early life and now works as a waitress in a tiny Paris caf staffed and frequented by a collection of eccentrics.

Withdrawn and lonely, Poulain avoids socializing, seeking instead to find contentment in simple pleasures, such as dipping her hand into grain sacks and cracking crme brle with a spoon.

One day Poulain makes a surprising discovery and sees her life change drastically for the better.
