Plot

Alex, a young homeless fire-eater, lives on the Pont-Neuf in Paris, which is closed for renovation. He meets Michèle, a painter who is going blind, and they fall in love, living on the bridge among the city's outcasts. Leos Carax's 1991 film, with Denis Lavant and Juliette Binoche, was famous for its huge cost and its spectacular scenes, including a fireworks sequence on the bridge.

Sinekatalog’s take

Leos Carax's passionate, wild love story of two homeless people on a Paris bridge is operatic and dazzling. Juliette Binoche and Denis Lavant are electric, and the fireworks sequence is unforgettable.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
