Wordiezett So much average

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

luluzj a little different from the love we all will see in daily life. Like all those romantic TV shows from Korean, love is always in some fabulous house, with hero and heroine dressed beautiful. But this is not.kind of cannot accept those loud laughters of them. It's so weird. Love is selfish, it's not as great a we think is. You'll want to bring your lover to the same stage you're on. Sometimes it's better, but as in the movie, it's worse.French humor, I'll call that like this. They present the most beautiful love in most ugly scene. Dirty faces, dirty clothes, ugly sex with someone irrelevant. Enjoy love, no matter where you are, or who you are.

timmy_501 Leos Carax's film The Lovers on the Bridge isn't remarkable for its characterizations or its plot, although both of these elements are certainly adequate. Rather, it's remarkable for a few otherworldy scenes of unusual cinematic power. One such scene consists of the titular lovers (Alex, a deranged, fire-eating street performer and Michelle, a painter with a rare eye disease, both vagrants) on the otherwise deserted bridge (closed for renovation) during the Paris bicentennial fireworks celebration. As they cavort about the bridge the massive light show seems to have been arranged for the sole benefit of this unlikely pair; Carax absolutely makes the most of this sequence and the result is one of the most amazing scenes in cinema.Another remarkable sequence involves posters that Alex notices, first one in isolation and then all over the city, that he decides he must destroy to protect his burgeoning relationship with Michelle. It's surreal when he sets dozens of them on fire in a deserted subway; it's nightmarish when he finds a truck load of them and accidentally burns the driver along with his cargo.The Lovers on the Bridge shows a side of Paris that most films don't: while it is capable of creating beautiful sights like the fireworks show it's also a place full of dirty vagrants who form obsessive attachments not only to abandoned bridges but to each other as well, people who are capable of astonishing acts of violence and self destruction. Carax captures all this with a flair that enables him to transcend the thin plot he's working with and in so doing create a magical piece of cinema.

Falconeer The final film of the Leos Carax trilogy, following Boy Meets Girl and Mauvais Sang. Here is what the art of film making is all about. The story of the doomed lovers who make their home on the Pont Neuf bridge, and who manage to find some sort of escape from their dark realities in each others company, is unforgettable. Denis Lavant, who appears in all three of the Carax trilogy, is great in his portrayal of Alex, the homeless street performer who falls hopelessly in love with a woman, who appears out of nowhere, to search for a place to sleep, and to hide from her own cruel reality. A painter, losing her vision, but still sketching all that she sees at a frenzied pace, as she knows that she soon will be no longer able to see. The film is so over-the-top romantic, as only French films can be. I had to write something here as a reaction to the bad reviews some gave this wonderful film. It actually saddens me that some people just can't see the magic here, and choose instead to take the film apart by challenging "the logic" of certain scenes and parts of the storyline. Searching for logic and plot holes in a film like this is so utterly ridiculous. Personally I don't go for romantic films, as they usually seem so contrived and phony. But "Amants du Pont-neuf" is such a strong film, and so utterly unique. This is an absolute classic of French cinema, and anyone who has a true appreciation and love for film should not miss this one. 10/10

a_jodorowsky When I was young (14 or 15 years old), I have seen this film. This film was the culture shock for me. Before that, I have not seen many films, I just sometimes watched some action films and romantic films. However, my life was perfectly changed when I saw this film. It makes me love films. I have loved everything in here. I love Leos Carax's other films, Juliette Binoche and Denis Lavant etc. This film has lots of meanings in French film history even though this is not the best film of Leos Carax. This film is the last film of 'Nouvelle Vague'. Leos Carax showed really new images through his Love trilogy. He is one of the real genius directors. Although his fourth film, Polar X was not successful, I am always expecting his next film.
