The Lovers on the Bridge

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: The Lovers on the Bridge (1991)


Infamous as one of the most expensive French films ever produced, and iconic because of its extravagant, ecstatic visual romanticism, Leos Carax’s Les Amants Du Pont-Neuf (Lovers On The Bridge) remains its directors most epic vision of love on the margins of society. 

Alex (Denis Levant) is a homeless fire eater deeply in love with an arts student (Juliette Binoche) who is slowly losing her sight. Living in desperation on the famed Pont-Neuf Bridge in Paris, they stage a rhapsodic love story against France’s bicentennial celebrations (complete with fireworks and water skiing). Acclaimed as one of the greatest of European films and possibly one of the greatest films period, Lovers On The Bridge is blazing cinema.

The defense and the prosecution have rested, and the jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young man is guilty or innocent of murdering his father. What begins as an open-and-shut case of murder soon becomes a detective story that presents a succession of clues creating doubt, and a mini-drama of each of the jurors' prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, AND each other. Based on the play, all of the action takes place on the stage of the jury room. 

Genre: Drama, Crime
