These pieces of music have different functions and express the different emotional States of the protagonist. Film music plays an extremely important role in shaping Emily's inner world and rendering the artistic conception of the film.
The film is staged in different frames, and the story, narration and musical expression seem to go their separate ways. In fact, they interact and develop together to express the theme of the film.

Film evaluation
In this film, the corners of the mouth are always slightly touched. Audrey tautou, with a slight elvish temperament, perfectly interprets the role of Emily. Jean-Pierre Genet, a French director, has created a dreamy and sweet movie world with his fantastic style. Every frame of the picture is like a romantic postcard with a strong French flavor.
This film makes the audience feel the French poetic realism shooting method in 1930s again. It uses digital technologies such as computer imaging, digital image processing (such as exaggerated and distorted shots in movies) and digital intermediate process to successfully reproduce Paris with poetic realism atmosphere, especially the courtyards, stairs and old-fashioned interior decoration in apartments that love a better life. The unique shooting technique and fantastic color matching of Angel Love Beauty are important elements of its success, but its amazing soundtrack is also the key to the film's brilliance. Yann Tiersen built a "spiritual Paris" with piano, violin, accordion, drum and harmonica. Stunning movie soundtrack and sometimes bright and sometimes quiet and elegant lens images are just right.
The film is like a fairy tale of modern Cinderella, and Paris under its lens, like the musical Kiki or Flower Dance, is a more beautiful paradise than postcards. Unique charm, rich imagination and fantastic humor are its specialties, which turn the girl's throbbing and longing into charming pictures.
In fact, this movie is not a completely happy movie, it is full of melancholy and bittersweet emotions. It describes a group of lonely people who have difficulties in communication, broken lives and full of setbacks. Under its rich fantasy color and wonderful imagination, it is a perspective and observation of real life and bitter life. Although Paris in the lens of Confucianism is idealized, it still has its realistic color. Emily may be an idealized and stylized figure, but every part of her comes from every ordinary person in daily life, and she is by the audience's side.
