About this product

Product Information

In his magical, erotic eighteenth feature, French director Patrice Leconte (RIDICULE, MONSIEUR HIRE) captivates viewers from the first elegant black and white frame. In the prologue, fragile beauty Adele (Vanessa Paradis) recounts her wayward, sadly promiscuous past in a comically matter-of-fact manner. Despite the lighthearted telling, Adele sees her life (all twenty-two years of it) as a tragic run of bad luck, leading her to a bridge on the Seine. She is saved from suicide by the arrival of Gabor (Daniel Auteuil) who jumps in after her. After the rescue, Gabor whisks Adele away to be the new assistant for his knife-throwing act. She blooms under his tutelage, and Gabor reaches new heights of his craft conceding that before Adele, he too, was lost. They happily traverse the Mediterranean, performing for thrilled crowds, and find they share a mystical, telepathic bond that comes in handy in casinos. As their feelings deepen, the knife-act becomes an erotic substitute, fraught with sexual tension (particularly in the beautiful scene beneath a railway bridge set to Marianne Faithful). Will the two realize in time that like the torn half of a dollar bill that Gabor gives Adele, each is useless apart?

    A "modern" black and white romance--

    From an artistic and storytelling standpoint this is an interesting movie, but by no means perfect. The lighting is deliberately made more contrasty than the old black and white movies, the story is more focused on storytelling instead of showing you the story, so the beginning "spoken intro" is more important to understanding it, the long sections of dialogues are vital to understanding what is going on, and while the English subtitles are excellent, the story is better in French than in English. Short version of the story-- a girl leaves home early, screws up her life, decides to commit suicide, meets an older man on the bridge, he saves her life, they go through time together working as a knife throwing act, they part when she "falls in love with someone" and she finally realizes ...

    A charming look at the underworld of knife throwers

    This is a classic tale, told on b/w film, in the noir style. It has the feel of burlesque, with unrequited romance between an again knife performer and his young muse, who he meets when both want to jump off the same bridge and end it all. I don't want to give too much away, but it's worth watching. It is pure French Noir for those who love French films. I thoroughly enjoyed it. **If you found this information at all helpful, please take a moment to select the "yes" button below.

    Vanessa Paradis at her best

    I just like how the film seems to invoke a throwback to 1930s-1940s slapstick romantic comedies--way before the time when romantic comedies didn't have the sort of dubious distinction, connotation that it does today! The casting of (pop star) Vanessa Paradis and (veteran actor) Daniel Auteuil is outstanding--as well as the backdrop locales!
