Two of life’s mysteries I have always had an interest in: babies and God. And the hilariously random movie that initially joined those two mysteries together? Baby Geniuses. While I’ll never watch that film again, Little Amélie or the Character of Rain re-invigorated that pondering about how much babies experience the meaning of it all before they lose their earliest memories. It’s beautiful, both visually and narratively, speaking life to our own power through Amelie’s (Loïse Charpentier) curiosity. Her rediscovery of the inner-deity we each have when we see it in ourselves and in others manifests into one of this year’s most life-affirming films.
