It’s night on a Paris bridge. A girl leans over Seine River with tears in her eyes and a violent yearning to drown her sorrows. Out of nowhere someone takes an interest in her. He is Gabor, a knife thrower who needs a human target for his show. The girl, Adele, has never been lucky and nowhere else to go. So she follows him. They travel along the northern bank of the Mediterranean to perform.

Viewing Notes
Girl on the Bridge is a charming little French film from 1999 shot in black & white and quite enjoyable if not sometimes unbelievable. Daniel Auteuil is always good and Vanessa Paradis definitely has a sensual quality here that makes this film work. Worth the watch.
