The Girl on the Bridge June 21, 2008

The Girl on the Bridge is an intemate story of love. adele (Played by the striking Venessa Paradis) jumps off the bridge into the River Seine. Time did not bid her well and left her alone and miserable. But she is rescued just in time by Gabar (Daniel Auteuil) who is lokking for a new assistant for his knife throwing act. director patrice leconte takes a by-the-two-penny torrid love story and turns it into an exotic musterious tale of passionate love and intemate connections. Jean Marie Drejou's remarkable black and white frames lend an old world carnival atmosphere and director Leconte infuses wit and eccentricity to the passion play bringing the film its strange jole de vivre.
