he's dominique pinon. he's in all the jeunet & caro movies (amelie, city of lost children, very long engagement and delicatessen).

Waltz de Amelie, if that's what it's called.

If I had the CDs handy I'd just point them out to you - basically think of the song near the end of Lenin when they're driving about to get to the cottage or whatever - the exact same song.

I was in that "I know they reused it" state of shock at that moment. But I still liked it, of course.

This isn't actually Yann Tiersen playing this. However, I still give much respect to the person playing it. It couldn't be easy.

I don't remember any songs from Amelie soundtrack being used in Goodbye Lenin soundtrack. Which ones?

Amelie is an incredible movie though! I Think the song and the music compliment one another.

Tags changed from "piano, beautiful, song, sad" to "piano, beautiful, amelie, sad, piece" by gold star member Krupo.

I still like Yann in spite the fact his songs were reused straight-up from Amelie in Goobye Lenin.

Still, why no mention of "Amelie" in the tags? I'll just make a quick edit. Hope you appreciate it

hahaha, I wish I was that talented...

But I think the movie Amelie did a good enough job of putting him on the map.

originally composed for the incredible film amelie: http://imdb.com/title/tt0211915/

I rented this a while back. It has some cool sci-fi/surreal visuals. Jean-Pierre Jeunet also directed "Alien: Ressurection," "Delicatessen," "Amelie" and "A Very Long Engagement."

There was a short scene like this in Amelie-- like she likes to crack the top of a creme brulee, etc. I agree, I think he was the grumpy cafe customer.

totally see the Amelie-ishness... he was the grumpy cafe customer, wasn't he?

YouTube comments paraphrased:

This is a short movie starring Dominique Pinon that Jeunet directed in 1989 back before Delicatessen, Alien Resurrection, Amelie, Mathilde/A Very Long Engagement, City Of Lost Children, and the rest.

The French title was "Foutaises" (gossip, gap).
