the english translation is 'girl on the bridge.' a girl not out for a stroll is rescued by a broken man in this stunning 1999 film that wonderfully was released internationally. it was shot in black and white but my memory argues that it was shot in silver. one of france's most respected actors, daniel auteiul ( i'd love to pronounce that properly) teams up in many ways with france's sweetheart, vanessa paradis.
casinos and carnivals are the backdrop in the lives of a knife thrower and his muse. the story is like romeo and juliet in reverse. our notion of destiny is surely supported when watching two people develop a connection as strong as daniel's 'gabor' and vanessa's 'adele.' beautiful names matched by the performances.
