Falling in love on the Pont-Neuf
A strange film. Such an unlikely event or is it? I wonder how close I have been to becoming a vagrant? Ha ha. But I never have done so that's a stupid thing to say...
At times it was very obvious this was a set and this was a little distraction to begin with. Nevertheless the story was compelling and I cared about the 3 characters. It was gruesome in parts. Shock tactics I suppose. And the ongoing love unlikely. However a compelling story nonetheless and I am such a cynic. What did I spot that was new or different? A glimpse reminder of the Metro. Living rough. Love in the midst of chaos - finding a somebody to love. But one of the decades most thrilling films? I think not. Good to watch but not amongst the best. I would welcome hearing other points of view. I enjoyed it but don't think it's a classic for me.
Directed by Leos Carax and starring Juliette Binoche and Denis Lavant. Apparently it was one of the highest budget French films. Surprisingly in my opinion.
