La Fille sur le Pont
Patrice Leconte’s latest film is a deeply stylish love story, which begins when a circus knife-thrower (Daniel Auteuil) saves a young girl (Vanessa Paradis) from a suicide attempt off a footbridge on the Seine. She falls for him, of course, but her trust in him is put to the test when she becomes a partner in his knife-throwing act. Beautifully shot in black and white, it’s an instant classic. (In French.)
