Euphoric and emotional. - The lovers on the bridge review by Steve

Raw, highly imaginative love story/fantasy of lost souls Binoche and Lavant, slowly evolving from monsters into angels. A remarkable achievement.

Waterskiing in Paris - The lovers on the bridge review by CW

This is a strange sometimes surreal movie. It is at times realistic and then drifts or slams into fantasy. There are raw ugly scenes but there are some gorgeous scenes that made me gasp. We see Alex & Michele steal a speed boat. Fireworks all over Paris lighting the canal. He furiously drives the boat as she water skis (with great ability). They are crazed and mad with a vicious joy. Dance scene on the bridge showcasing her dancing and Denis Lavant’s skills as a gymnast. A scene in underground tunnel with posters lining the walls bursting into flames. Interesting and quirky. Raw. I don’t think I have seen the gorgeous Juliette Binoche looking so roughy scruffy (and yet still gorgeous). Good escape from this time of the plague.

Superb acting by the two main actors. - The lovers on the bridge review by SoniaGee

Having seen Juliette Binoche in sophisticated roles previously, this film showed just how versatile she is!

I am still amazed at how she played this part, so naturally.

A bonus is the part where France partied to celebrate its 200 yrs centenary, with an amazing fireshow over the R.Seine.....
