Les amants du Pont-Neuf / The Lovers On The Bridge (1991)


A young alcoholic and a young artist who gradually loses her sight meet while living on the street.

One of the important films of the '90s, The Lovers On The Bridge tells the story of an unconventional and imperfect love, but no less true than the perfect examples that are popularized in so many other films. Moreover, it offers the viewers a chance to look through a window into some negative aspects of life that most people pretend don't exist, revealing a hidden but fascinating facet of Parisian life at the same time. The two actors are fascinating, the raw realities give the impression of undeniable authenticity and the film's overall effect is ageless.

Directed / written by: Leos Carax
With: Juliette Binoche, Denis Lavant, Klaus-Michael Grüber

Rating: 9/10
