32!!Tropes & Trivia abour her works:
33
34* BillingDisplacement: Happened to her a lot until the 2010s, due to being among the most well known French actresses abroad at the time (she's since been overshadowed at that by the likes of Creator/MarionCotillard and Creator/LeaSeydoux). For instance, she's front and center on the American posters for ''Film/TheSpanishApartment'', even though her on-screen time in the whole movie probably wouldn't total 10 minutes.
35* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Most notably in ''Film/{{Amelie}}'' but also in some of her other movies.
36* OneWomanSong: "Tautou" by Music/BrandNew. [[SingleStanzaSong The lyrics consist of]] "I'm sinking like a stone in the sea[=/=]I'm burning like a bridge for your body".
37* PlayingWithCharacterType: ''Film/HeLovesMeHeLovesMeNot'' completely and utterly eviscerated the persona she'd become known for after ''Film/{{Amelie}}''.
